Also, there are sometimes packages that the last stable version was just that old. There are also ocasionally packages that require multiple versions to be installed in order to achieve what we want. How many versions of glib are there? Also, from what I have seen, portage often times has the most recent builds of the packages that change most. :P That is one of my main reasons for moving towards Gentoo to start with. ^_^ I like current packages. ^_^ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
