[gentoo-dev] best way to do trivial ebuild updates

[Alan]

What is the best/fastest/approved way to get packages that have had
version bumps into portage?  For example, pan unstable was recently 
updated to 0.13.3.91, and a simple copy of the .ebuild file to match the
new version number installed and has been working for me great since the
update yesterday.  

Is it best to submit a bugzilla bug, a bugzilla patch (with straight
copy of the file), email the maintainer, or ask for CVS access so I can
update it myself? :)  

I've seen this before and submitted ebuild to bugzilla, but normally the
bug is invalidated a bit later when another version comes out and the
developer updates to that.

Just wondering.

Alan

In this case no need. There was already a bug about it, but .91 is 
marked as a beta version, i prefer to only put in stable ones.
