Description Benjamin Tegarden 2003-10-31 09:26:47 UTC 
Everything works, but the portage system incorrectly believes _beta8 to be the
newest version. For example,

# emerge search development-sources

This is because beta9 is masked right now because of some minor bug... :-(
I know this sucks but I didn't manage to convience the ebuild mantainer not
to do so...

(Find bug related to test9 and patchset...)

That is correct.
beta9 has been packaged masked for the time being.
please hold on to your pants for the next release soon.
