Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-11 22:18:29 UTC 
I wonder why we have some Samba-like versioned ebuild, instead following the versioning scheme upstream¹. Versioning isn't trivial, as e.g. in case of a security issue and a later need to downgrade the version, the relevant GLSA is suddenly wrong, causing us and moreso our users even more hassles. So, unless I'm missing something, I request to change to upstream's versioning ASAP.
