I know 0.8.1 just got into the tree, but it's in fact very old. 0.9.0 was just released, and I've modified the 0.8.1 ebuild to work with it. Should be quite simple to upgrade. (It's also available from a Mercurial overlay at http://hg.xavamedia.nl/portage/.) Reproducible: Always
Direct link to updated ebuild: http://hg.xavamedia.nl/portage/raw-file/tip/dev-db/couchdb/couchdb-0.9.0.ebuild
Please attach unified diffs (diff -u) when you did changes to an ebuild. That would be much more handy for our devs. Please don't CC maintainers/herds yourself. Leave that to the bug-wranglers.
thank you, I've bumped up the version in portage.
