Something here is a bit confusing... I don't understand how renaming
one version of samba to another does much for me. I need the actual
new version installed, not the old version renamed and installed as
the new version.
Portage download the file samba-{the_version_in_the_name_of_the_ebuild}.
The ebuild file just contains commands and parameters to compile samba, it doesn't contain the source. Often, new versions don't need change in parameters/commands.
Unless something very magic happens at:
# ebuild samba-3.0.23b.ebuild digest
The digest is just a security option (this create the md5 of the file).
