8 has_version only returns 0 or 1 depending whether the package is installed or
9 not, so it's useless in this case. best_version would be a better alternative,
10 however that alone won't solve the problem.
11
12 Read about best_version in the ebuild(5) manual page. After you're done with
13 that, read about the versionator eclass in the versionator.eclass(5) manual
14 page (may have to emerge portage-manpages). You'll probably have to use a
15 combination of both to do what you're trying to achieve.
