24 You can dig bugzilla and find two entries too :
25
26 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176148
27 => an ebuild from the git repository by Jakub Moc (you can trust
28 him ;-))
29
30 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185229
31 => an ebuild similar to mine
32
33 Now you have three choices :-)
