Certainly, what I meant with old version is that the diff should be made |
| 14 |
against a sync of the same day (revision numbers do not need to allways |
| 15 |
change, esp. for compilation fixes) as the submission, and the latest |
| 16 |
(applicable) ebuild, even if it is masked (not if the masked version |
| 17 |
clearly is for a different upstream branch) |
