It would be nice to get the ebuild for this to get an update. The current one in the portage tree is two years old and hard masked. small quote description from there websit. "About The LTP The Linux™ Test Project is a joint project started by SGI™ and maintained by IBM®, that has a goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features."

This is the latest version. The package is masked for testing. If you use it and you are happy with it I can unmask it
Anyway it's not entirely clear what this bug is for closing as NEEDINFO
for me using eix this is what i got. eix ltp * app-benchmarks/ltp Available versions: [M]~20090131 [M]~20100131 Homepage: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ Description: Linux Test Project: testsuite for the linux kernel for me searching using emerge its self yields this. emerge -s ltp Searching... [ Results for search key : ltp ] [ Applications found : 2 ] * app-benchmarks/ltp [ Masked ] Latest version available: 20120903 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 3,871 kB Homepage: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ Description: A testsuite for the linux kernel License: GPL-2 switching portage and eix over to a sql data base somehow broke it. I should have checked it prior to posting the bump request.
reopening then. If you are happy with it, I can unmask it
you can close it. When i posted my last comment we had a conflict cause we posted at the same time. If I had known you closed it I wouldn't have said anymore.
Ok good. We will keep it masked for a while then
