Fair enough.  Would you like some new patches?

I can't image how -r would not work, and they still have a functioning
CVS.  It seems to be working fine here.  Yesterday I made a few attempts
at creating a 2.5-27 ebuild, with no luck at all.  Having a tarball to
fetch would make it trivial.  

As it stands, the latest version in portage is 2.5.22 with patchpack A,
and the lack of a tarball is whats holding them back.  The problem is,
*everyone* uses ~x86, and emerging net-p2p/mldonkey right now, gives you
a very broken client.  It really needs to be 27, or 16.  I vote for 16
as stable, and 27 in package.mask, with a short bit of text telling
people that 27 is available to them if they want it during the
src_unpack of 16.  What do you think?
