That is a possible solution, but i think it's not really elegant, because you keep the same data twice. Also if you have the "master" ebuildfiles in your home and you do a change you have always to copy the into the portage tree. In a first view i thought about making similar symlinks. But that is not elegant either. What i will soon test is to put the official tree into a special directory and only this one will be synced. I will soon comment this :) Thanks for all Markus
