Greetings, On 23 January, the previously stable net-firewall/shorewall-4.4.10 was removed from portage, the Changelog states "Version bump; Cleaned up old versions". Unfortunately, none of other 4.x versions of shorewall are marked stable; portage wants to downgrade the package to 3.4.8. Downgrading to such an old version is difficult because of changes in the configuration files that drives the package. Should the only stable 4.x version have been removed? If you need any additional information, please let me know. $ sudo emerge --info Password: Portage 2.1.9.25 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5-x86_64-Intel-R-_Xeon-R-_CPU_5160_@_3.00GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 09:15:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r1, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.4-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) ABI="amd64" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" ACCEPT_PROPERTIES="*" ALSA_CARDS="" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="" ANT_HOME="/usr/share/ant" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias auth_digest" APACHE2_MPMS="prefork" ARCH="amd64" ASFLAGS_x86="--32" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CDEFINE_amd64="__x86_64__" CDEFINE_x86="__i386__" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CFLAGS_x86="-m32" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CHOST_amd64="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CHOST_x86="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLEAN_DELAY="5" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" COLLISION_IGNORE="/lib/modules" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/bash_completion.d /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/default /etc/dev.d /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/modules.d /etc/pam.d /etc/pango /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/profile.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/ssl /etc/ssmtp /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev /etc/vim" CVS_RSH="ssh" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DEFAULT_ABI="amd64" DISPLAY="localhost:10.0" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" ELIBC="glibc" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--verbose --noconfmem" EMERGE_WARNING_DELAY="10" EPREFIX="" EROOT="/" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch usersandbox" FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 3 -T 60 --passive-ftp -O "${DISTDIR}/${FILE}" "${URI}"" FETCHCOMMAND_RSYNC="rsync -avP "${URI}" "${DISTDIR}/${FILE}"" FETCHCOMMAND_SFTP="bash -c "x=\${2#sftp://} ;

I agree. shorewall-3.x should be removed from the tree anyway because it's obsolete. A 4.4 version should be marked stable. However, my personal choice is to emerge the latest 4.4 even if it's ~.

Maybe you put ~amd64 into your package.accept_keywords/package.keywords? If so, you may want to upgrade to the newly added version.
Hi, I cleaned the version up yesterday and I only removed unstable versions. As you can see here: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-firewall/shorewall/shorewall-4.4.10.ebuild?view=markup all arches were unstable in 4.4.10 prior to my removal. As I agree, that we definably need a newer stable version, I also filed a stabilizing request yesterday, which you can see here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352532
