Thanks. This is mostly what I have done. |

Another question. What is wrong with this name for an ebuild |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
tigcc-0.95_beta8r1.ebuild |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The version is 0.95 beta 8r1 (This is what they call it). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Remove the r1, and there are no problems. Should I just change it to |
| 24 |
maybe tigcc-0.95_beta8.ebuild |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thanks... |
