Since, and 3.2.5 was released in June of 2008, and it's currently
January of 2010, wouldn't it make sense for gentoo to either:
1) abandon the package and remove it from portage
-or-
2) update the stable branch to the current version that has been our
stable release for over a year and a half?
3.2.1 was released in June of 2007, and that's the latest stable for
gentoo? Really? There's some pretty nasty bugs in that release (ie:
4179,5397,5509, 55115571,5680,5665)
It is a great disservice to the gentoo user community for them to
incorporate a tool that *needs* to be updated in a timely fashion into a
process with a really slow release cycle.
Since 3.2.1 is already broken, (even its sa-update is somewhat broken by
the "non-redundant mirrored-by" bug), I don't think that updating one
rule is going to help the gentoo users very much.
