I'm aware that Deer Park IS Firefox but my understanding was that Deer Park was a nightly release build and not the official 1.5 release. I thought it was the equivalent of grabbing the most recent source (at the time the package was created) from CVS rather than getting the official release source. Am I confused? Part of the issue is that several of my extensions complained that they were only compatible with Firefox 0.? - 1.5 when I restarted Firefox. > I have several packages that I maintain 'manually' (outside of portage) > and I have experienced no portage 'confusion', i.e. Apache 2.2, mod_perl, > mysql-5.1.5-alpha, etc. I install them to /usr/local and portage > doesn't care. Cool! I'll look into that. And thanks to everyone who replied. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
