When it is possible portage uses the name of the ebuild to determine what version of a package to download. So if the build process is unchanged and the revision naming from upstream is sane then renaming the ebuild should be sufficient to make a revision bump. This of course implies that you will be running software that isn't tested by the Gentoo maintainer and hence Gentoo provides no warranties... -- Bo Andresen
