Any chance of bumping this in portage?
Thank you for the bump request. You can help the maintainer with further information: Does a simple bump [1] work on your system? Chances are high, because a first look on the bump revealed only small changes. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository#Simple_version_bump_of_an_ebuild_in_the_local_overlay

Its worked fine for a year on ~amd64 for me on several machines (all very siilar USE flags).
Ironically version 17.11 was released a month after the last activity. I've created a new #639752 and will close this one.
