I guess none of the gentoo devs happen to be particularly interested in a version bump on that package. Oh well, most of them probably don't get paid for the work they do on gentoo, so who can blame them? Having more developers would help, but there will always be packages suffering from lack of developer interest. Usually with version bumps, you can just copy the existing ebuild into your overlay and rename it (see portage docs for PORDIR_OVERLAY). There is a version bump ebuild for ipsec-tools attached to bug 100692: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100692 Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
