Description Clemens Schwaighofer 2003-11-05 23:24:56 UTC

well, the portage bitkeeper would be 3.0.1 on the bitkeeper homepage you only 
get 3.0.3, therefore I can't install it via the portage three (except I might 
be able to symlink-trick portage, which I don't want actually). 
there is a 3.0.3, but it is not yet in the stable tree. could anyone move it?

3.0.3 hasn't been long enough in portage to mark it stable yet. You can still
emerge it if you use "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge bitkeeper" though.

the problem is, that even if 3.0.3 is not yet marked stable, you cannot download
any older software. so how should anybody be able to install a "stable" one
if there is no stable software to download anymore?

This is a problem with bitkeeper's distribution site. I can see where there would be trouble in quite a few cases, but we don't have much control over how bitkeeper runs it's download site. I've added a note to the ChangeLog for anybody that touches the bitkeeper ebuilds to be mindful of this fact, so hopefully the bitkeeper ebuilds will be bumped to stable quickly.
