Description Sod off! I am no loger here! 2014-06-06 08:54:36 UTC
The monotorrent ebuild contains a strange character in the version string. It is not visible using "emerge -s" but using eix this clears the screen. 


Output from eix filtered by less:
# eix torrent  | less

* dev-dotnet/monotorrent
     Available versions:  0.80^t
     Homepage:            http://projects.qnetp.net/projects/show/monotorrent
     Description:         Monotorrent is an open source C# bittorrent library

I am unable to find the reason for this among the portage files. 

I remains after sync today (June 6, 11:00 CET). 


Regards,
Erik

No, it doesn't.

Clears the screen?

The version string is 0.80 and eix prefixes an asterisk and suffixes ^t like this: *0.80^t

Your output looks exactly like mine. What is wrong with it?

The file gentoo-x86/dev-dotnet/monotorrent/monotorrent-0.80.ebuild hasn't changed since May 2012, over two years ago.
