What's up with Evolution 1.4?

At first, emerge -u evolution would not update to evolution 1.4, even though the ebuild existed. So I ran emerge /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution/evolution-1.4.0.ebuild, and that worked fine.

However, now when I type emerge -up world, I get this:
[ebuild UD] net-mail/evolution-1.2.4 [1.4.0]

So, it now wants to delete 1.4.0 and update 1.2.4. How do I tell portage that 1.4.0 is the latest version?

Thanks,

Patrick

evolution 1.4 is not marked as stable in portage yet. Its best to wait for it to enter x86 before you update, going to ~x86 for a single package is a bad idea, because often deps get upgraded to unstable verssions aswell.

EDIT: My bad

Its masked from both x86 and ~x86, from packages.mask:

Maybe the question sound stupid, but according to the previous post, Is it possiblee to upgrade to 1.4 without going inestable???

If Ximian is distributing it as stable in binary format, with all the dependant libraries; what is missing for including it in the stable tree?
