Today I noticed that emerge adds a colon together with an integer to the version of every package it wants to update, e.g. it says
[ebuild U ~] kde-base/kmail-4.9.3:4 [4.9.2:4] USE="handbook kontact (-
aqua) -debug {-test}" 0 kB
I never noticed the trailing ":4" before and I have no idea what it means. I
searched the gentoo website but haven't been able to find anything about it.
Does anyone what it is about?
Cheers :-)
