You can look in /usr/portage/media-sound/ecasound/ to see what versions are available. Unfortunately for you, there is only 2.4.3 :( If version 2.3.3 still existed, you could install that specifically by saying: emerge =media-sound/ecasound-2.3.3 But since it's not there you'll either have to find the ebuild for it, or upgrade to 2.4.3. > > 2 If not, anyone could tell me how long packages are kept in the > > repository Usually the latest stable ebuilds are kept. When there is a security update or bug fix, the affected ebuilds are usually deleted. When a new version becomes sufficiently tested and stable, older versions are deleted if there are no dependencies on them. > and what would be the process if i really need to stick with > > one version which is no longer there? If you _must_ have a particular version for ever, then use the PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> There is no distinction between any AI program and some existent game. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
