I would say you should hack up the ebuild and post a copy of it to |
| 9 |
bugzilla as a bug. Assign it to the maintainer of the ebuild and |
| 10 |
hopefully they'll accept it. It helps to also have a few people that |
| 11 |
you know use it to chime in and also to be around to help the developer |
| 12 |
solve any problems there may be with the new functionality, such as |
| 13 |
being a testing guinea pig for the developer. |
