The message on that page is quite > hostile towards distros: Sorry, I haven't seen this either. I thought you mean a VCS when you mentioned a 'live' ebuild. Now that I see how the ebuilds look like, I have only one idea. It's simple yet ugly. You could have a 'versioned' ebuild linked to the actual SRC_URI, and bump it whenever you notice the upstream tarball changes. This would allow users to have the package upgraded automatically. I think it would be similar to the situation we had with adobe-flash packages. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
