Yes - this was exactly my point. People need to go into a config file to specify this. > Anyway, svn or "snapshot ebuilds" as they're called can go into either > stable or unstable depending on how well they work, and how old the last > official release was. Right. If the ebuild were to checkout from a particular revision, then I think it would be fine. My comment was that using the ebuild as it stands (which builds from the latest revision in trunk) would probably never be available unmasked in Portage. > I'm actually in the process of making some synce snapshots from svn, so > they can also go into gentoo, just waiting a few days for John to work > his magic! Cool. I'm wondering what the version number we should use for the snapshot then. Since this is sort of a "pre-0.11.0" release, I guess the ebuild should have the version number "0.10.0_pre<SVN_REVISION>". That seems to be what they are doing for the mythtv SVN snapshots anyways.
