Thanks for the reply Kenney! But if you read what I have written in my first mail to this, you will see that I've done exactly what you have proposed and it failed miserably. And yes, for some strange reasons, there are no source code distributions for the releases.
The Gentoo guys prefer to build every open source project by themselves. Besides: building and installing a two, strictly separated steps, so no writing into the system is allowed (and will be prevented by the sandboxshell) during the build. All what I want is to recreate the build that you have made for the beta3. As you can see in my original mail, if I get the source from subversion using the beta3 tag, the build fails during the build/download of the plugins.
