Now, one can argue that work in progress should go into an overlay. That in= my=20 opinion makes sense for e.g. kde packages and kde overlay, or qt packages a= nd=20 qt overlay, or similar. Making a fresh overlay for one package or asking to= =20 add my dev overlay for one required ebuild makes no sense.=20 Only my opinion... Cheers, Andreas =2D-=20 Andreas K.
