I'd say, pack it into one ebuild and make it intelligent, some check like |
28 |
"if an old tar.gz is already installed, download just the needed patches and patch, |
29 |
but if it has to be downloaded anyway, download the newer "full" installation" |
30 |
that saves the users from having to download both, |
31 |
for example when installing the original .56 yesterday |
32 |
and upgrading from .56 to .56-r1 today (grrrrr) |
