.SH "RETRIEVING LATEST TESTING VERSION AVAILABLE"
.PP
To retrieve the latest available version in the ebuild tree marked as
testing for the given ARCH, can be done with a combination of flags,
mostly to restrict the search.  For instance, to find the latest version
of \fIsys-devel/gcc\fR available, one could use:
.nf
$ qkeyword -p sys-devel/gcc -T
sys-devel/gcc-8.3.0
.fi
It may be that there is a newer version available, but masked for the
configured profile (via package.mask).  Using \fB-v\fR will inform about
this scenario happening:
.nf
$ qkeyword -p dev-vcs/cvs -Tv
masked by =dev-vcs/cvs-1.12.12*: dev-vcs/cvs-1.12.12-r12
.fi
Unrelated, but to locate the mask given, use verbose mode on \fIq\fR's
mask listing:
.nf
$ q -mv dev-vcs/cvs
=dev-vcs/cvs-1.12.12* [/repo/gentoo/profiles/prefix/sunos/solaris/package.mask]
.fi
