[gentoo-user] Where is mplayer?

[Harry Putnam]

The newest version of mplayer offered in todays sync is:
   media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r1

It cannot be found in any of around a dozen repos that emerge tries
with

   emerge -vu mplayer

Anyone know where it can be found.

By the way I did try downloading the sources from:
   http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

Renaming the downloaded tarball to  file to 
  /usr/portage/distfiles/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r1

emerge appears to ignore it completely but It must be running a md5 or
something. ... Anyway emerge just goes on and tries to find it quite a
few places.

Anyone know where this file can be had currently?

Sorry that rename above should have read:

`Renaming the downloaded tarball to 
/usr/portage/distfiles/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919.tar.bz2'

Which is the exact name emerge output shows but it is just ignored

You will have to wait for the maintainer to upload it.  If you download 
a different tarball, you will have to re-digest the ebuild in your local 
overlay first.
