15 dev-libs/efl-9999 is a live ebuild, meaning it's pulling from a version
16 control system. It appears there are two other versions of the package,
17 which shouldn't be pulling from git. If 1.17.0-r1 or 1.18.4 meet your
18 needs, a downgrade is all you'll need. Check
19 /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and its manpage for more info.

21 If you need the live ebuild, Rasmus's suggestion will work fine.
