Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2009-04-02 08:46:51 UTC 
PMS says about the ~ operator:

   ~ Equal to the specified version, except the revision part of the matching
     package may be greater than the revision part of the specified version

which is not as it behaves in Portage (it never did, as far as I know).
In Portage, any revision matches.

I.e., according to PMS ~cat/foo-1.0-r2 would not match cat/foo-1.0-r1, whereas in Portage it does match.
