Yes, it does. Revision bumps are generally to correct a bug or typo in |
| 12 |
an ebuild, or apply additional patches, while the upstream version |
| 13 |
remains unchanged. |

If you're unmasking (in package.keywords or package.unmask) a specific |
| 16 |
version of a package, such as =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6 to use your example, |
| 17 |
you could instruct portage to unmask ebuild revisions of that same |
| 18 |
version using the ~ prefix: ~sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6 would match gcc-3.4.6 |
| 19 |
and gcc-3.4.6-r*. Handy for getting ebuild fixes on a package waiting |
| 20 |
to become stable. |

Yay, random portage trivia! |
