workaround/fix (the following commands also fix xmms-xosd to make future version bumps a matter of renaming the file only.): 'cd /usr/portage' 'cp -a x11-libs/xosd/xosd-1.0.0-r1.ebuild x11-libs/xosd/xosd-1.0.2.ebuild' 'sed -e "s/xosd-1.0.0/xosd-\${PV}/" media-sound/xmms-xosd/xmms-xosd-1.0.0-r1.ebuild >media-sound/xmms-xosd/xmms-xosd-1.0.2.ebuild' create digests with 'ebuild xyz.ebuild digest' if necessary. (btw. nevertheless should an archived version of xosd-1.0.0.tar.gz be uploaded to http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/ to avoid problems for people not reading bug reports and not sync the portage tree regularly)
The tarball for 1.0.0 was removed from xosd's homepage. I've updated xosd to version 1.0.2 and manually copied the new tarball to the distribution directory.
