I wouldn't bother with an overlay for this. Edit the ebuild or delete the patches from the main tree and redigest the ebuild then merge it. Everything will be reset at the next sync, but by then the package will be installed so it won't matter. I'd only bother with an overlay copy if I thought I was going to need to re-emerge the package several times. -- Neil Bothwick At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.
