In the past when I wanted/needed a newer version of a package than is
in portage, I'd create an entry in /usr/local/portage.
For example for app-example/some-package/some-package.x.y.z.ebuild, I'd
1) create directory /usr/local/portage/app-example/some-package
2) copy some-package.x.y.z.ebuild
Thanks for the pointer. It got me going... sort of. Now I know why
we don't have the latest seamonkey in the Gentoo tree. It requires
=dev-libs/nspr-4.9.3 and the highest ebuild of nspr in the tree is
4.9.2, even though I did an emerge sync today. So I'd have to build
nspr and nss locally
