Doesn't really seem to be related to OPs question so it probably should have |

been a new thread, however... |

The real issue is that google refuse to rename the tarball when they release a |
| 11 |
new version. The secondary issue is then that Gentoo can't rename it on their |
| 12 |
own mirros since they aren't allowed to redistribute it. |

Understandable. You should, however, realize that it is an actual upgrade |
| 21 |
you're rejecting in this case. |

I don't really have a better suggestion if you don't want the upgrades. |

Redigesting it as Kent suggests seems rather pointless as you would just be |
| 30 |
reinstalling the old version (while tricking portage into believing you get |
| 31 |
the newer version (as if that mattered ;)) with no actual gain. |
