Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-18 07:29:58 UTC
For one, the package is hard masked, so you will have to add it to your package.unmask.  Second, you cannot include a version on the command line without adding an operator.  If you want to install exactly 5.0_beta2, then you would "emerge =app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0_beta2"

Thanks,

firts contact with hard masking. Until now keywords have been sufficient for controlling package versions.
