Oops? It shows old HOMEPAGE from old ebuild, not the currently available version you would get from "emerge ggz-gtk-games". 

I'm running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and new ebuild is marked with ~x86.

Comment 2 Joe Harvell 2006-06-30 14:08:37 UTC
sorry.  attached xorg.conf file to the wrong bug; please ignore
Comment 3 Nick Devito 2006-07-04 19:42:40 UTC
One possibility would be that its reading a previous version of the ebuild and caching the first URL it finds.. I'm going to take a look into it
Comment 4 Martin Väth 2006-07-09 02:38:23 UTC
eix reads the ebuilds in alphabetical order and caches the last version that it finds. The problem here is that ggz-gtk-games-0.0.13 is alphabetically before ggz-gtk-games-0.0.5.
Comment 5 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-11 17:48:23 UTC
Probably we need numerical ordering here to take the latest ebuild.
Comment 6 Martin Väth 2006-07-12 05:11:00 UTC
It is not that easy: Ordering of versions is much harder. Moreover, pure sorting does not treat the case when e.g. the newest version is in some overlay.

I made an attempt to patch the cache-reading functions in the newest svn trunk. So far, only methods metadata and none were tested once. If somebody uses another method please test it.
Comment 7 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-06 04:14:18 UTC
we believe this is fixed with 0.6.2

thanks or reporting!
