Looks slightly different here: $ sudo ebuild transmission-9999.ebuild prepare Appending /newaches/gentoo/cvs/gentoo-x86 to PORTDIR_OVERLAY... * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...

I guess someone changed the eclass, will punt the ebuild for 9999 asap
and it's gone + 15 Oct 2012; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + -files/transmission-2.51-fbsd.patch, -transmission-2.52.ebuild, + -transmission-9999.ebuild: + old
Anyone stumbling here: I can restore 9999 if someone has a patch, otherwise I have no intrest in maintaining live version of transmission anymore -- I was doing so for a reason that doesn't exist anymore...
