Instead of wasting my time re-adding this every time a new version of vpopmail comes along, I'd much rather use this as an opportunity to get into Gentoo development and add this to the central ebuild repository so that all future versions inherit it. What do I need to do to get started on this? Do I simply mail a patch to this list, or ask somebody for a CVS account and commit changes directly? I'm also a bit confused about the portdir_overlay thing - If there exists a -r15, do I then add a -r16 to make emerge realize an update is available. What happens then when an -r16 hits the regular portage tree? Thanks for any information you can provide.
