well, the SRC_URI is wrong ... plus, anything after version 0.9.7 are CVS releases so either someone needs to make a tgz of the CVS and put it on ibiblio, or this package should be masked
Nono, i have a deal with the gift devs, and we'll release a new snapshot of giFT into portage 2 days a week.. When the next automatic snapshot is made, the previous is deleted, so when i forget to include it soon, you get this, this rarely happens though..; emerge sync and try again
