Hello I have a question about versions of some applications in gentoo portage. As I noticed there are some apps which stable version aren't updated too frequently.
for example mod_security for apache on official page there is stable version 2.5.1 and in portage : [ebuild R ] www-apache/mod_security-2.1.2 USE="-doc" 0 kB amavisd officialy - stable version 2.5.4 - there is even RC for 2.6 version and in portage: [ebuild N ] mail-filter/amavisd-new-2.4.1 USE="mysql -ldap -milter -postgres" 823 kB I understand that to be marked as stable in gentoo it needs to has some time but for example 2.4.1 amavisd version is from 2006.05.08 so it lasts really long and I don't know why?! I know that I can install it from sources but for sure there's important reason why the newest versions aren't in portage. and by the way - it's my first post here so best regards to everyone :) nichu -- [email protected] mailing list
