[gentoo-user] Stable versions vanished!?
After finishing my latest sync, portage moaned about problems with my world file. emaint found out it was due to some package updates that deleted the versions I have installed and left only unstable ones. In particular, it was dev-tex/latex-beamer and its dependencies, pgf and xcolor. Nice to see somebody has gotten around to updating the ebuilds, but if there's a stable version, wouldn't it make sense to leave at least one around so people can decide if they want to use the unstable? net-im/skype has the same problem. It's asking for a new dbus which I'll just try out---hope it doesn't break too many things. I suppose they don't offer the old version for download any more and the new one doesn't work with the stable dbus? regards and a belated Merry $APPROPRIATE_HOLIDAY to all!
