Afaik, the date we list is the one that should be used. I'm not aware of different Portage snapshots being advised on the documentation. Thanks Sven, But if that is the case, then this line on the same page : "Fire up links2 (or lynx) and go to our Gentoo mirror list. Pick a mirror close to you and open the snapshots/ directory. There, download the latest Portage snapshot (for instance portage-20041202.tar.bz2) by selecting it and pressing D." should be changed to _not_ say "latest" and instead specify the dated-version referred to later. I followed the doc, and I downloaded the latest, only to see that I can't use the command given in the example, since the version numbers don't match. Ah, my bad, sorry. I was thinking on a different snapshot. hb-install-stage.xml updated. |
