8 Gentoo will never have a 6.9 version available...the devs are only

11 If you really want 7.0, I would suggest unmasking it, and helping to
12 identify any problems with the build or dependancies. The ebuilds
13 have gotten much better in recent weeks, so it is possible that the
14 problems you had previously have been resolved.
