Git is the most common. NEVER, use an overlay to replace a gentoo stable package, only to install something additional or non-critical!

Who the hell is going to even touch, yet alone maintain some of the advanced mathematics libraries we all enjoy on Gentoo? Many are difficult as hell to get stable on gentoo and use in other (science) projects; just as one example. We stand tall, here at gentoo, because we have the collective wisdom to use the work provided by the larger community of hackers, coders, students and yes burnt_out_too_often_abused_admins who often appear to have bad attitudes......

Here's but one example, you should take on to manage, upgrade and enhance in your spare time? http://www.dune-project.org/ Here is another one (you do like video on your workstation?: media-video/ffmpeg Sorry for being blunt, but you just do not realize just how rediculous this line of reasoning/questioning is? hth, James
