One thing: Often it's possbile to just copy one ebuild
(under /usr/portage/<category>) for example called "test-1.2.3.ebuild" to
"test-1.2.4.ebuild" and emerge this new ebuild. That's not allways valid
and could fail (cause of special patches for this very version for
example), but most of the time I got the new version this way, cause there
where no big changes in minor release upgrades and the download source is
still the same...
Maybe another point as well: You could look if there is a masked version of
the ebuild you are looking for. Often the maintainer of this ebuild does
think that this version is not stable enough, so you could try with
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<arch>" emerge <package> -p"
(replace <arch> with your processor architecture (probably "x86"))
HTH! Greetings, Matthias
