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.
