[gentoo-user] Re: When portage doesn't know about the latest release of a package...
Kevin wrote: Thanks for the replies, Rob. Problem is, apparently all the rsync mirrors (I've tried 5-10 of them now) think that 1.2.10 is the latest version of OpenAFS. Any idea how to point portage to the source site for a particular package? In many cases, the source site is included as secondary source in the ebuilds. And in many of those cases, you can get a working ebuild just by copying and changing the name of an old ebuild, ie: $ cp openafs-1.2.10-r1.ebuild openafs-1.2.11.ebuild ..or something to that effect. /Clacke -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

And Debian keeps old packages a little longer than the portage tree does. /Clacke -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
