The current version of bitbake in portage is 0 which sounds weird to me.
According to berlios, the latest version is clearly 1.2.1 so please put
versioned ebuild into portage. Thanks...

bitbake is a live subversion ebuild, i.e. - uses files from bitbake svn trunk.
No version bumps required here.

I thought svn/cvs ebuild are against gentoo policy. So, please see attached
ebuild for version 1.2.1 and rename bitbake to bitbake-svn.

bitbake-1.2.1.ebuild

they are heavily discouraged

bitbake generally doesnt do releases hence a live svn ebuild was added instead
(in fact the ebuild was made almost a year before their first "release")

i dont see much value in adding the 1.2.1 version, but i will rename the 0 to
9999 so people dont get confused

Well, why not add bitbake-1.2.1 and bitbake-svn-0? I'm using 1.2.1 without
problems.

I mean, you'll get problems when you provide only svn version since when
someone downloads it when it's in broken state, gentoo gets flamed. :-(
Providing ebuild for release version is a sure thing (in means of working
state).

Anyway, I can try to write to bitbake developers and ask them to make a
release...

bitbake-1.3.2.ebuild

This is an ebuild for version 1.3.2 which is the latest stable. Very close to
what you get when you pull it from svn.

I've had a conversation with the devs and they said there will be more releases
coming so it imho makes sense to keep ebuilds for released versions...

having sep packages for livesvn and releases is a waste of space

moved 0 to 9999, then cleaned up and added 1.3.2 to portage
