Wrong. I am perfectly aware of what "stable" and "unstable" means to portage. |
| 7 |
I _was_ arguing a point based on Alexander's question which I felt was |
| 8 |
ambiguous. Apparently I am the only one who thought it was ambiguous, ha ha, |
| 9 |
stupid me. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The entire rest of that sub-thread was me and Alexander arguing faulty |
| 12 |
premises based on this initial misunderstanding, and it would best be |
| 13 |
ignored by everyone. |

That is an issue, but not one I am losing sleep over, and not one that I am |
| 22 |
arguing in this thread... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If everyone folowing this thread from the sidelines could just read my first |
| 25 |
response to the OP: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/172487 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
You can see here I explained to the OP that the newer version was not stable, |
| 28 |
but he could access it using "~x86" keyword. I went on to explain that if he |
| 29 |
wanted the latest upstream version he could use an overlay. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Mark my words: I _do not_ think the upstream stable version should, |
| 32 |
automatically or otherwise, be portage's stable version. I never said any |
| 33 |
such thing in any mail to this thread. |

I will try this. Thank you. |
