As per summary, the current stable version is ancient and it's a good time to update to a newer version. 1.8.13 will be the last ebuild before multilib support, and I'd like to have that stable at some point.
There is a 1.8.12-r1 and a 1.8.13 and a 1.8.13-r1. Which?
Stable for HPPA.
arm stable
amd64 stable
sparc stable
alpha stable
ppc stable
ppc64 stable
x86 stable
ia64 stable. Closing.
