Better to file version-bump bugs to b.g.o. Reporting/complaining here is less likely to produce results. Remember to wait 2-3 days after the official release date before filing a bug; give the maintainer a little time to do the bump him/herself. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.

Make sure it's been 2-3 days after the release and then file a version bump bug. Please report if "simply renaming" the existing ebuild works and/or what you had to change to get a clean compile/install. Simple renaming worked on my "~x86" system. I haven't noticed nothing suspicious so far. If you follow Wesnoth closely, but aren't part of upstream, you might consider becoming a/the gentoo package maintainer for it. IIRC, IMHO, the packaging for Wesnoth could use a little "love". I agree that Wesnoth woul need more "love", but I don't qualify as official maintainer of Wesnoth package simply because I have never looked into the code. But if "let's try to rename ebuild and see what happens when the new version is released", I'll be glad to help by sending reports to this list. Thanks, Marko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
