Usually the ones that edit there are the maintainers. I think you need |
| 14 |
to file a bug report and request the new version to be put in the tree |
| 15 |
and eventually made stable. |

Of course, if it is really new, it may be in a overlay for testing too. |

Some put them in the overlay to test then move them over to the tree a |
| 19 |
bit later if there are no problems or weird dependency problems. |

I think there is a fancy command to get that info but can't recall it at |
