eix falsely says that firefox is not in stable branch on my system. eix firefox gives the following output on my system: * net-www/mozilla-firefox Available versions: 0.9.3 ~1.0_pre-r2 ~1.0_rc1 ~1.0_rc2 ~1.0 ~1.0-r1 ~1.0-r2 ~1.0-r3 Installed: 1.0 Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ Description: The Mozilla Firefox Web Browser emerge -p mozilla-firefox gives the following: ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0 grep firefox /etc/portage/* displays nothing. grep KEYWORDS displays the following: mozilla-firefox-0.9.3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha amd64 ia64" mozilla-firefox-1.0.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ppc sparc x86" mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 arm ia64 ppc sparc x86" mozilla-firefox-1.0-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86" mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86 hppa" mozilla-firefox-1.0_rc1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86" mozilla-firefox-1.0_rc2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~ia64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86" portage seems to correctly know that firefox 1.0 is stable, but eix displays it wrongly. I then edited the file /usr/portage/metadata/cache/net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0 and changed the order of the architecture list so that x86 came first and did another eix -u. This fixed the problem. I then played around a bit and found that if there is an architecture with the testing flag before x86 in the list, then eix thinks eix is testing too. So it looks as if I have found an eix problem. The eix version is 0.2.0_alpha Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eix firefox on x86 system result: ~1.0 2. edit /usr/portage/metadata/cache/net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0 change position of x86 in list so that there are no ~ flags preceding it 3. eix -u 4. eix firefox result: 1.0 (without ~) eix version 0.2.0_alpha
This is already fixed upstream, the new release (0.2.0) will be out in a few days, so i won't patch this version. You can try the eix-cvs ebuild if you like: http://eix.sourceforge.net/ebuilds/eix-cvs-0.2.ebuild
