I would suggest looking at the changelog if there's an active |
| 9 |
maintainer first, if there is, it's likely they keep an eye on the |
| 10 |
repos and bugfixes for the software they package, and if the bugfix is |
| 11 |
critical, they make a patch, but you can't expect them to be every |
| 12 |
hour checking on the repos, In the recomendations it says that if you |
| 13 |
see a new version of a package, you should at least wait 48 hours, |
| 14 |
before asking on the bugtracker for a bump, the '0 day bump request' |
| 15 |
are not apreciated by the developers, I would say this also aplies to |
| 16 |
critical bugfixes, and the patch you want was committed just a few |
| 17 |
hours ago. |

If it really is that much important for you, try to apply the patch to |
| 20 |
the latest version in the tree modifying the ebuild, put it in your |
| 21 |
local portage or a personal overlay, test it and then wait at least a |
| 22 |
day, and post the ebuild on the bug-tracker and request a new revision |
| 23 |
including the patch to be made by the ebuild maintainer. |
