I was seeing if I could emerge the new open source release of blender. Sure enough after an emerge sync I found I nice shiny new blender-2.26.ebuild in my portage tree.

But emerge -s blender reports only an older version.

I took a look in package.mask to see if the new blender was masked out, it wasn't. I checked the dependencies too, they weren't masked out either.

What aren't I understanding here?

cheers

Use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch"

like

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge blender

Be warned that you are going to use the unstable branch. See also the FAQ.

KEYWORDS in the ebuild also masks the ebuild.
