Hi

I've prefixed dev-lang/v8-2.5.9.15, however yesterday v8-3.0.12.18 went stable in the main portage tree. So I'd like to ecopy this version as well and move the mods over.

However, "ecopy dev-lang/v8" does only copy v8-9999 and no other version. How does ecopy decide which ebuilds to copy - and can I alter this behavior?

Thanks! -sven

% ./ecopy
* usage: ecopy <category>/<package>
* - make sure the scripts directory from the overlay is in your path
* - make sure you call ecopy from the root of the overlay
* - you can also specify a specific version, using the '=' prefix
* and appending a version
* ecopy is a best effort script only. It doesn't guarantee a working
* result

So, "ecopy =dev-lang/v8-3.0.12.18" should work.

I'm too conditioned to use --help/-h it seems :-)

Thanks for the hint, Jeremy!
