Use app-portage/eix instead: # eix handbrake [I] media-video/handbrake Available versions: (~)0.9.9 **9999 {fdk ffmpeg gstreamer gtk} Installed versions: 0.9.9(15:09:43 18/10/2013)(ffmpeg gstreamer gtk -fdk) Homepage: http://handbrake.fr/ Description: Open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder. handbrake-0.9.9 works very well indeed but it's ~arch. If you don't see it in your output, you need to --sync Incidentally, there's nothing bad about installing that package's 9999 version. It's masked because it's in the source repo (all cvs/svn/git/etc sources are always masked so they don't get installed accidentally). But keeping them current is a pain. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
