[gentoo-server] Stable Portage tree

[Phillip Berry]

Hello,

Just wondering if there has been any progress on the stable portage tree? 

Also, syncing the normal tree removes old versions of ebuilds, obviously this 
is inappropriate for a production environment where for various reasons it is 
sometimes neccessary to stay at an arbitrary version of an application.  The 
loss of the ebuild specific to the legacy version of the application is a 
pain, will the stable tree retain older versions of ebuilds instead of 
removing them?

Also, will security updates ever be backported?

As is i said, i'm just wondering...

Cheers
Phil
