I use the small C utility ez-ipupdate to keep a dynamic DNS account |
| 2 |
up-to-date with ZoneEdit, a free dynamic DNS provider. Recently, |
| 3 |
ZoneEdit changed the page that updates A records; ez-ipupdate needs to |
| 4 |
be changed to reflect this. |

Here's where I run into an issue. I've managed to successfully patch the |
| 7 |
code to make it work again, but I can't get in touch with the upstream |
| 8 |
maintainer. His personal email and mailing list are both hosted on a |
| 9 |
system that doesn't exist (at least according to DNS - ironic, no?). His |
| 10 |
"contact me" page returns a 404. Several other links on his site are |
| 11 |
broken or outdated. |
| 12 |
|

What's the "Gentoo way" here? Should I keep trying to get in touch with |
| 14 |
the maintainer, file a bug in Gentoo Bugzilla, or just live with it? |
