It's helpful if you can subscribe to email updates, and help test when |
| 12 |
revisions are available. |

Sometimes an ebuild is posted to as an attachment to the bug - you |
| 15 |
download it and add it to your local overlay. Thus you may get the |
| 16 |
updated version before it's available in the Portage tree (some |
| 17 |
ebuilds are attached to bugs for packages which never become accepted) |
| 18 |
and you can at least add a "works for me" comment and encourage the |
| 19 |
devs by remarking how useful it is to you. |
