Hello, Background info : I'm experiencing a bug and found out that the bug doesn't appear with libdrm-2.4.11 (I kept an ebuild for this one in /usr/local/portage/...), but it does occur with libdrm-2.4.13 (not sure about the version numbers anymore, and I have yet to try 2.4.12, too, but that's not the question)
So the general question is : if I want to use git-bisect (I have never done that before, but today is a good time to try), I guess it means I'll have to build libdrm outside portage : if so, once I'm finished with hunting the bug, how to go back to the situation where portage does everything for me ? Some more precise questions : - before I begin, should I first unmerge libdrm ? - once I finished with bisecting, should I reemerge libdrm ? Will portage overwrite files it may need to overwrite ? what about orphanned files (if any) ? I looked at the documentation list on gentoo.org, I did find a section entitled "Non-portage maintained software", but this is not what I'm looking for. Where else should I look at ? thanks for your comments Nicolas.
