It's latest version available. But newest version is 9.4. Besides - when i try install this version it generates huge number of processes which cause my computer slow down and than halt. My friend have tha same problem. The problem is something like: gpacks/README nie jest katalogiem in polish, translated to english it would be something like: gpacks/README is not a directory I use 9.2 version of icon wich is stable. dev-lang/icon Latest version available: 9.40 Latest version installed: 9.4.2 Size of downloaded files: 3,133 kB Homepage: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/ Description: very high level language License: as-is
Can we finally punt this version that's broken and besides just screws versioning (Bug 125258). from portage? Assigning to x86, no maintainer in metadata.xml and it's not keyworded for anything else.
I've just been trying to compile this and even though the compilation process actually works fine for me (no errors at all), a problem arises when actually merging it.

Well, I'm not sure we should care about bugs with that version of icon - there are several never versions in portage, the most recent of which has been marked stable on x86. Since 9.40 isn't the newest version, isn't keyworded for any other arches, doesn't compile for a lot of people (myself included, fwiw), I don't see much point in doing anything with it than removing it from the tree. Other versions of icon causing collisions is something that needs to be looked at, though.
I agree something has to be done about version 9.40. It should at least be renamed to 9.4.0, but even better: removed. (if so many people have problems compiling it) I haven't got the power to do it though... :P
George, can you punt this version from the tree? I'm marking it -x86, so it is going to be essentially lacking all keywords.
Done. Sorry for the delay - I meant to remove it right after 9.4.3 is marked stable on both x86 and sparc, just being really busy this week with RL.. George
Just a quick comment on the versioning names for Icon. The "problems" comes from how the University of Arizona (who are the keepers and maintainers of the language itself) have named their tar files for the source code. They do not put dots in the filename (thus icon.v940src.tgz is version 9.4.0 of Icon and icon.v943src.tgz is version 9.4.3). The problem within the portage tree is that there was a 9.40 ebuild version and a 9.4.1 version (I believe). But anyway -- much of that is besides the point. The actually differences in the language between 9.4.0 and 9.4.3 (which is the latest version) are fairly small bug fixes and additional library packages.
