New version has been out for a couple months now. By the way, the use of python_version, etc., is deprecated and needs to be fixed.
Can i respectfully ask when the 2.7.1 version ebuild might be added? Also, is it possible to include a 9999 ebuild as new features required for updated frontends, like Nama, are already in the git repo. Thank you, Alex.
Rleased on 8/19/2010: "v2.7.2: * Manual gate (-gm) added. See ecasound(1) for docs. * liboil now enabled by default if its development files are found when running configure. * Bugfixes." Thanks.
2.8.1 is now in the tree.
