tetex security problem - why no new ebuild version?

pgrdsl

Ok, I'm not the brightest person in the world, but could somebody explain to me why, when a security problem has been found in a package (tetex), and a patch has been made, the ebuild version hasn't been bumped?

As somebody who keeps his system up-to-date by pretty frequent "emerge rsync", "emerge -u world", I would have missed this security fix. One of the reason's I do it is to make sure I'm up-to-date with latest patches...

The only reason I didn't miss it was 'cos I pottered over to forums (yes, I should probably subscribe to gentoo-announce - in fact, I'm just about to do that...).

Maybe I'm missing something about ebuild release versions...?

Ok, so in the time it took for me to post my article, the version got updated.
(Unless one of the gentoo mirrors was seriously out of sync.)

tetex is now at -r11 (as I would have expected it to be

)

Ho hum.
