So, I couldn't get `emerge rsync` to work from behind the firewall and proxy, so I dl'd the portage tarball and installed it in /usr. I see newer versions of some apps that I use, but when doing an `emerge search <app>` the newer version doesn't show up as an option.

e.g.

The ebuild for xine 0.9.10 is in the /usr/portage/... directory, but when I do an `emerge search xine-ui ` the latest version is listed as 0.9.9rc2 or whatever the older version is called.

Am I missing a step to syncing the portage tree?
