If you want the latest, install the ~arch ebuild and report any problems you find. That's how a community distribution works, you can't just expect to be given the latest package on the day of release without some effort on your part. The stable tree is for those who want tried and tested software and ebuild, version chasers should use testing. I run testing on three architectures with far less problems than I had with Mandrake Cooker (and I didn't have too many of those) so don't think that testing means unstable, unreliable or dodgy in some way. All it really means is unproven, and the only way for it to move from there to stable is for people to use it. --=20 Neil Bothwick Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb.
