I've been having trouble with ConTeXt in Gentoo (via the texexec
executable), and discovered that it was because Gentoo has texexec
version 1.9, while the newest version is 3.2(!). Since Gentoo gets its
ConTeXt via teTeX (at least as far as I can tell), I thought maybe
the old ConTeXt was due to slow updates in teTeX...

However, when I query Portage, I find that the latest version of teTeX
available (which is also the one I've got installed) is 1.0.7-r12. But
the newest version available from the teTeX site (btw: The home page
is http://www.tug.org/teTeX, not http://tug.cs.umb.edu/tetex/, as the
ebuild script says) is 2.0.2(!)

Is TeX a low priority, should I have used something other than teTeX,
or are the newer versions considered unstable or something?

Or, more to the point, what would be the easiest way for me to get a
more recent ConTeXt? Write an ebuild script myself, with a separate
slot or something? (Sounds scary...)

(And there is always the possibility that I've missed something
obvious here...)

Thankful for any help,

- Magnus
