I think he's asking about the ebuild. The version he wants is not in portage. |

If you have the package *already* installed and want to remerge it, there's a |
| 20 |
local copy of the ebuild in |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>-<version> |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
copy it from there to your local overlay and remerge as normal. |
| 25 |
If you unmerged the package already, then the ebuild is gone. Maybe you have a |
| 26 |
backup. There's also an svn attic somewhere where everything that was ever in |
| 27 |
portage is stored. I don;t know where it is, but Google does. Search for it. |
