> I was told that this issue has been fixed in new version of rrd tool > rrdtool 1.2.23-r1 but this one isnt in portage.. It's in portage. I'm guessing you either haven't synced in awhile, or you aren't seeing it as you are running stable arch (amd64 in this case) and the package in question isn't stabilized yet, tho it's keyworded ~arch (unstable, ~amd64 in our case). Assuming you've synced, it's almost certainly the latter. You'll need to add the package to your package.keywords file as appropriate. See the portage documentation in the Gentoo handbook (installation is just one section of several, you know, and there's a LOT of stuff in the other sections, particularly the working with Gentoo and working with Portage sections, that make a Gentoo sysadmin's job FAR easier than it'd be otherwise) and portage and emerge manpages. There's a script, earch, that I picked up on the dev list some time ago, that lists the versions of a package and the latest stable and ~arch versions for each arch. Here's what it reports for rrdtool: $earch rrdtool rrdtool-1.0.49[0]: rrdtool-1.2.15-r3[0]: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86 rrdtool-1.2.19[0]: rrdtool-1.2.23[0]: rrdtool-1.2.23-r1[0]: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 So rrdtool-1.2.23-r1 is keyworded ~amd64, while 1.2.15-r3 is the latest stable. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
