I see that the versions are different, but from the DESCRiptions and the
COMMENTs, I don't know which version is the official version or a beta
version.

The HOMEPAGE is the same too.  The RedHat FTP site and website
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/gdb.html) seems to indicate that 6.2.1 is
the official release version. (I didn't try it yet since it has many, many
patches.)

Maybe devel/gdb should be named devel/gdb5 and gdb6 should be renamed
devel/gdb.
