Good enough?
Sort of. Their is a newer version available in portage, but the ebuild has not been marked stable yet. however, the latest stable is 0.9.2 and I see you released 0.9.3 in July, so the ebuilds are definitely lagging behind. When the package has not changed in terms of build process and dependencies, you can normally make a copy of the ebuild with the new version number, digest it and then emerge it. As the author and a Gentoo user, why not make an ebuild available on your web page and post it too Bugzilla, then the package maintainer may pick it up and put it in portage -- Neil Bothwick Life Support System Failure - Reboot Patient (Y/n)?
