Description Daniel Beckham 2013-04-15 17:13:22 UTC
On March 5th, the dev-php/xcache-2.0.1.ebuild was removed from the xcache package with log message "Removed older builds".  

See: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-php/xcache/xcache-2.0.1.ebuild?hideattic=0&view=log

XCache has two stable versions, old and new (2.x and 3.x) and the latest 2.0.1  release supports PHP 5.4.

See: http://xcache.lighttpd.net/#News, http://xcache.lighttpd.net/browser/tags/2.0.1/NEWS

Could we get the 2.0.1 ebuild added back, in favor of, or in addition to the current out of date 2.0.0 version?

As far as I can see, xcache refers to old stable and latest stable. I prefer only supporting latest stable. 2.0.0 was kept simply because it was our latest stable version.
