A quick search on `output' seems to miss it. Things like found in this output: eix ^apr$ * dev-libs/apr Available versions: (1) 1.2.11!t (~)1.2.12!t (~)1.3.0!t 1.3.2!t 1.3.3!t 1.3.5!t {debug doc ipv6 urandom} Homepage: http://apr.apache.org/ Description: Apache Portable Runtime Library What do the `!t' entries following the versions available mean? Also, is it odd to have older versions under `~'?
