Description Romans 2003-01-31 13:08:09 UTC

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: 

I would suggest that  
 
 emerge ~qt-dcgui 
 
would emerge latest unstable version and place ~qt-dcgui in world file. 
 
That will require a modification into portage and will make lot of users happy :) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
everyone is happy :)

Does those dependency notations have the same meaning? 
 
~sys-apps/qux-1.0 
=sys-apps/qux-1.0* 
 
if yes, when ~ line could refer to a latest unstable and = line to the latest stable package 
available.

~ is already defined in versioning and is deprecated ...
