Hi,
Can confirm that (much less collisons with 2005.0), but as there exist
some persistant collisions (nvidia-kernel, alsa-driver, some perl
modules, etc.) So i've put these in package.features/package.env file
(from Portage-Toys tools) to disable "collision-protect" just for them.
Also thinking about again begin using "maketest" and do the same for
failing packages, but not sure as there were quite a bit of packages
that didn't pass the "tests".
