I can't rename the ebuild, or give it a weird build number, because the ebuild filename is used to select files to download. I'm tweaking Firefox ebuild and eclass internals, but keeping the same filenames. The emerge default seems to be to prefer the local overlay, which is what I want right now. I checked "man emerge" but can't find anything about the following 2 situations...
1) What if I want to use the standard ebuild and ignore my local ebuild (probably quite rare)? 2) How would I select the the specific version I want (they all have the same ebuild name) if I have multiple local overlays? I could tweak the overlays setting in /etc/make.conf or rename a local overlay directory, so that it doesn't get seen as an overlay, but that seems rather heavy-handed. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
