Hi,
What is the best way to handle conflicts of packages? Ie: I have a
stable (release) version of software A, and I also have a bleeding edge
version of the same software (that tracks the same current stable
version). What I want to do is that if they install the CVS version (or
the release version) they can't install the other version without
un-installing the other one. I'd like to do this to make sure that they
are linked against the correct version of the libraries.
Best regards
Michael Boman

In the depend section of the ebuild, add a negated entry. Example:
!foo-bar/SoftwareA-CVS
