It is my experience that an ebuild with the same version in the overlay dir will override the one in /usr/portage. So when I want to use an unstable package, I copy it to the overlay, and edit the KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild. A bit hacky, but it works. > --Daniel Armyr In gentoo forums I've found this: If you are using Portage >= 2.0.48, there is another option for installing masked packages that does not require editing package.mask. You can add a category/package entry into the file /etc/portage/package.unmask, which will survive across an "emerge sync". [http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=33534] I've tried it, but it didn't show any effect. Currently this file just consists of sys-devel/gcc-3.3 What else should be in there? Will this file be loaded every time I emerge something, or do I have to regen something?
