Sorry, I haven't seen this either. I thought you mean a VCS when you |
| 14 |
mentioned a 'live' ebuild. Now that I see how the ebuilds look like, |
| 15 |
I have only one idea. It's simple yet ugly. |

You could have a 'versioned' ebuild linked to the actual SRC_URI, |
| 18 |
and bump it whenever you notice the upstream tarball changes. This |
| 19 |
would allow users to have the package upgraded automatically. |
| 20 |
I think it would be similar to the situation we had with adobe-flash |
| 21 |
packages. |
