[gentoo-user] Reinstalling older Packages

2011-06-20 Thread Frank Schwidom
Hi, how is it possible to reinstall an older Package from /usr/portage/distfiles/package, when the corresponding ebuild /usr/portage/topic/package/version.ebuild does not longer exists? Is there an option, to keep older ebuilds intact during emerge --sync? thanks in advance regards f. schwidom
