The various app-doc/howto ebuilds (by pm) have no versions, because the standard howto archives have none. The ebuilds define version 1.0 arbitrarily, but they always download the newest archive with the same address and filename. Do you think we should manage this situation in a better way? Should we try to work with setting the version dynamically at merge time to the archive's timestamp? -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer Matan, Israel
