Well this one is new to me. Googling reveals the spike linux distro is a version of Sabayon, which is based on gentoo.
So 'eix -R cassandra' :: dev-db/cassandra [5] Available versions: 0.6.1 ~0.7.0-r2 ~2.0.7 ~2.0.10 ~2.1.3 ~2.12 {doc ELIBC="FreeBSD"} Homepage: http://cassandra.apache.org/ [5] "spike-community-overlay" layman/spike-community-overlay Does anyone have experience with any spike overlays? Are they of good quality? It seems they have the latest ebuild-release of the cassandra of all the ebuilds, but that not close to the latest release (3.2.1). All comments are welcome; if there is no 3.x ebuild anywhere, I guess I'll try my hand at an EAPI-6 ebuild for cassandra. James http://cassandra.apache.org/
