Not going to happen. We're not going to dignify LSB by adding that kind of nonsense... You can get the current release using: cat $(portageq portdir)/metadata/timestamp assuming the user isn't running off CVS rather than rsync. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
