I would say you should hack up the ebuild and post a copy of it to bugzilla as a bug. Assign it to the maintainer of the ebuild and hopefully they'll accept it. It helps to also have a few people that you know use it to chime in and also to be around to help the developer solve any problems there may be with the new functionality, such as being a testing guinea pig for the developer. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a penguin? --=-h4d3dkE5Lg1lHAcQCQ+E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/lyOSkT4lNIS36YERAllQAJ9XpmnxOFgEEwXxe3USKq+CNnwk8gCdHbVx y3XXVScAmeDNy+lLUq7i4po= =z+Io -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-h4d3dkE5Lg1lHAcQCQ+E--
