All sync does is download the latest ebuilds into your local portage |
| 5 |
tree. If the ebuild maintainers haven't gotten around to creating an |
| 6 |
ebuild for package 'foo-1.2.0' (the lastest) and are still using |
| 7 |
'foo-0.8' then you're stuck with 'foo-0.8' unless you roll your own |
| 8 |
ebuild for 'foo-1.2.0'. |

|

Of course you're also welcome to submit the custom ebuild into |
| 11 |
bugzilla to get it included in portage for everyone else to benefit |
| 12 |
from. |
