Correct.  I date the ebuilds based on the date that I create the
patches from fixes.  The ebuild contains the actual git commit, though
the commit rate on fixes isn't that high.  Gentoo needs an orderable
version number to detect upgrades/etc, and the date is as useful as
anything else since git doesn't offer anything adequate here.

Well, not if he is having this problem with 0.27.4, which was my
impression from the first post.  But, if he gave up without trying the
most recent versions then I would definitely do that before wasting
time bisecting the repository.  Well, not unless it was a regression
that still hasn't been fixed.

You can find the list of versions to choose from at:

That reminds me, I should probably stabilize 0.27.4 in a few weeks...
