Right - ok.
So my question is specifically with regards to  -
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-analyzer/suricata/suricata-3.2-r1.ebuild#n26
or
">=net-libs/libhtp-0.5.20". In the case where I would like to use  -
libhtp-0.5.23 is it a simple case of editing that version number or
there is more to it?

Thanks
