old packages in weekly repo

[ktindle]

Right now, Firefox and Thunderbird are out in the world at 13.0.1- the weekly repo has 12.0.

I can understand that the calibre (e-book manager) package, and other niche things, is a bit old. But guys- Firefox?

If this is simply a delay in the limbo-Main-weekly repo progression, where can one go to see what is going on, since changing repos is not a trivial operation?

Paket: www-client/firefox-13.0 Branch: 5, [sabayon-weekly]
Paket: mail-client/thunderbird-13.0 Branch: 5, [sabayon-weekly]

maybe you have to start rigo or a little thing like : equo update.....

…where can one go to see what is going on?

→ packages.sabayon.org
→ git.sabayon.org
and even bugs.sabayon.org

According packages.sabayon.org, FF 13 has been pulled to weekly on June 11th.

Code: Select all

www-client/firefox-13.0
Firefox Web Browser
binary → standard → sabayon-weekly → x86 → 5 | revision: 0 | date: 2012-06-11 13:23:44.610000

Just 3 advices:
1. Learn the distro and it's package manager!
2. Learn to be patient.
3. Learn how to ask questions the smart way.

To follow on from @steffie's reply you may need to do:

equo update --force

as recently for me just doing "equo update" reported "repository is already up to date" even though I knew there were updates in the Sabayon-weekly repository by checking the RSS feed:

http://pkg.sabayon.org/standard/sabayon ... pdates.rss
