Another advantage is that upstream took forever releasing the tarballs, |
| 10 |
but the patch for the problem was ready right away. I didn't want Gentoo |
| 11 |
to be insecure any longer than it had to be, so I used the patch. But we |
| 12 |
are using the 6.8.0 tarballs, and that's why the ebuild is versioned |
| 13 |
6.8.0. |
