Install a specific package version
Say you want to install xmoto-0.4.1. If you just do emerge xmoto you may get version 0.3.4 or something like that. Here's the command you want.
# emerge =xmoto-0.4.1
Say you're not sure, but you want at least a version higher than 0.3.4, then issue this command.
# emerge '>=xmoto-0.3.5'
Basically, all packages have the same syntax package_name-version_number.
Install exact package version
# emerge =package-version
Install package version that's greater than or equal to a specified version
I believe this works with <, > and <= as well as shown below >=.
# emerge '>=package-version'
