Several versions of app-arch/alien have been released since the last ebuild update on 19 Feb 2009. The latest is V8.79. In my PORTDIR_OVERLAY tree, I copied alien-8.74.ebuild to alien-8.79.ebuild; it emerged without error. Initial testing (on AMD64) shows no problems. TIA for updating this ebuild :^) Clemmitt
