Subject: [gentoo-dev] tarball doesn't have version -> portage problem

Hi,
If a package doesn't have a version in it's name, then we have a problem
concerning updating: Portage will think that the sourcecode in
/usr/portage/distfiles (the old tarball) is the recent one and will install
it.
One solution would be to rename the tarball personally and put it on ibiblio.
However, some tools prohibit distribution of the sourcecode, so this solution
isn't 100% safe.
Any thoughts on how to handle this?
