here's an ebuild that uses suspend2 2.2.9.3 for kernel 2.6.19 - has various critical fixes against 2.2.9, which fix crashes, etc. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 112221 [details] ebuild for suspend2-sources with suspend2 2.2.9.3
2.2.9.3 is a development version. If you wish the latest suspend2, please use ~suspend2-sources-2.6.20
well, it says 2.6.20 is a development version, and is masked, see below. which of the two evils is the lesser evil? :) # emerge -vp ~suspend2-sources-2.6.20 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "~suspend2-sources-2.6.20" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.20 (masked by: package.mask) # Alon Bar-Lev <alonbl@gentoo.org> (09 Feb 2007) # This is a development version For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It is masked because it is a development version. You can unmask it by: # echo sys-kernel/suspend2-sources >> /etc/portage/package.unmask # echo sys-apps/suspend2-userui >> /etc/portage/package.unmask You can refer to the Gentoo handbook to read regarding the use of stable/unstable/masked trees.
that's my point - it is masked. for example, on my system, 2.2.9 doesn't work, it crashes at hibernation. there's no ebuild in portage ATM that would work for me. thus, I submitted one. IMHO it would be for the best for everyone to have an ebuild that solves the bug I have as well - after all, the solution is already available.
You can benafit from Gentoo packaging system by simply creating your own ebuild with the new version. I won't add a development version into the tree without mask it. Please don't reopen this bug again.
I've created a ticket for the original (critical!) bug for which I have created this ebuild, see bug #169716 . suspend2 developers have told me that for that bug, which results in a system crash, the solution is contained in 2.2.9.3. IMHO it's better to have packages that contain fixes to known issues.
