Of course there not... you are using STABLE (+) while Alexander is using UNSTABLE (~). So your ebuilds are different. But here aren't those either. And what I can tell you is that I've seen them somewhere (and '%') symbol that I don't know exactly what means. I haven't found any documentation about it. Gentoo is the best documented GNU/Linux distribution, but here I think that is a little trick that hasn't been documented as it should. Bye, Rafael Fernandez Lopez. -- [email protected] mailing list
