10 Well yeah sorta, it's just the way portage works : get the latest stable
11 version available (that also means the highest slot most likely). If you
12 want the latest 1.x version just do 'emerge =apache-1* -p' or something
13 similar. In time it would probably be a nice feature to give a slot
14 number with the emerge command or something.
