There is no such option, but you can get expired ebuilds from http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/cat-egory/package Click the dead files link to see old ebuilds, download the one you want an put it in a local overlay. Then emerge with the -k option. --=20 Neil Bothwick EASY TO INSTALL =3D Difficult to install, but instruction manual has pictures. --Sig_/f7YAZoAG14hpmO1RAMVADdb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk3/DMsACgkQum4al0N1GQPcCwCfVJiAjLRohTy9L+fDcYdS1+1N 4oEAoIOC6tB67oYd8HxtA35R7oJyC4E2 =5gLE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/f7YAZoAG14hpmO1RAMVADdb--
