Revision bumps are generally to correct a bug or typo in an ebuild, or apply additional patches, while the upstream version remains unchanged. If you're unmasking (in package.keywords or package.unmask) a specific version of a package, such as =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6 to use your example, you could instruct portage to unmask ebuild revisions of that same version using the ~ prefix: ~sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6 would match gcc-3.4.6 and gcc-3.4.6-r*. Handy for getting ebuild fixes on a package waiting to become stable. Yay, random portage trivia! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
