I'm not a developer, but based on my experience, playing nicely with overlays in general is a can of worms, and as far as I can tell has to do with the fact that overlays have always needed to react to changes in portage tree. (For example, if an overlay has pkg-0.1-r1 that fixes a bug, and in portage tree 0.2 is available but still has the bug, then the overlay needs to have a 0.2-r1.) I'm not sure you have to worry about overlays. The developers of the overlays will worry about them. Now, for the educated: is this fair or accurate? -- Jacob "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now — and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." Are you ready?
