iperf 2.0.2 is quite old (2005) the project has since moved to sourceforge:

sourceforge.net/projects/iperf

The latest is 2.0.4 released April 8, 2008.

Gnumeric 1.9.1 is the latest version but it is sad that we have only 1.8.3 at the portage tree. This is not the problem to compile it out of emerge or eix but it would be great to add gnumeric 1.9.1.

Users of older licq versions are banned as of ~07/02/08: www.licq.org/ticket/1637 . A new ebuild would be great. (Or, world, use jabber)

New Version available, changelog from site:

pidgin-otr-3.2.0 and libotr-3.2.0 released. Changes from 3.1.0:

* The functionality of the OTR button has now moved to a menu. There's an "OTR" menu, as well as an icon showing the current OTR state of each active conversation in the window.
* New OTR icons from <cyrus_xiii@yahoo.com>
* OTR icons show up inline in the conversation window when the OTR status changes.
* Buddy authentication has been revamped, based on the user study published in SOUPS 2008. The default is now to choose a question and an answer only you and the buddy should know. The question is displayed to the buddy, who is prompted for the answer. The "shared secret" and "fingerprint" authentication methods are still available.
* Translations for Arabic, German, Russian, Hungarian

The latest version of syslinux is 3.63 and it was released on April 10, 2008.
The current x86 gentoo syslinux-3.31 was released on September 2006.
It's slightly outdated, isn't it?

Build 3.51.11 & 12 yield linker error:

undefined symbol: min error

This has been resolved a while ago, but the fix hasn't been incorporated by Gentoo. Please use latest Mysql binaries:

Please use a real description. If everyone did this, it would be a mess.

The screenshot is the same as the action game Descent 3. Well, it looks like the same game. I personally played it on the DOS multiplayer version over LAN. All I must say about this game is that its a MUST with a group of friends

seems to work fine on my ThinkPad X61Tablet.

I've tried pretty much all of the settings, annotating pdfs. Using it daily for taking notes of lectures. To me it feels like it could be made "amd64"-keyword ...

Keyword: ~amd64
USE: debug doc pdf

A bit cheeky that gentoo age, balloon wallpaper. I think that is a "gentoo-ised" Fedora wallpaper (Fedora 8, if I remember correctly)
