If you just want a single version and its revision bumps the ~ operator |
| 22 |
might be a better choice, as in |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
~dev-libs/glib-2.18.1 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
this matches dev-libs/glib-2.18.1-r42 but does not match |
| 27 |
dev-libs/glib-2.18.1.1 (which <dev-libs/glib-2.18.2 would match as well) |
