Also, gentoo has an "attic" where all older ebuilds are archived. You can grab the ebuild and any related files and use your local overlay to keep it around for as long as you need.

In nvidia-drivers there is a link to view dead files (or attic) - prob same everywhere. BillK On Fri, 2008-01-04 at 07:29 +0100, Dirk Heinrichs wrote: > Am Freitag, 4.
