I think this will work for me, thank you! However, I don't understand |
| 8 |
why those versions precisely are there (which means they have been |
| 9 |
checked into cvs, I guess) and not others? For instance, the exact |
| 10 |
version I'm running now, 38.8.0, is not there, and neither are the 45.x |
| 11 |
and up which already invaded my portage tree. |

Yes, and I should really learn more about binary packages in gentoo. |

But still, it isn't much different from listing the files with equery f |
| 18 |
and making a tarball. Without a way to rebuild from source I feel as if |

I were standing on 1 leg ... |
