Thanks. Using cvs is one good method. I thought about a bit the problem.
Another solution is a symbolic link to the local directory given in
categories.
So it may be easy to do the following in the first step. Integrate local
in the "master" categories and set a symbolic link local. Then you can
use the rsynccommand with --safe-links (only if the directory behind
local is placed outside which is in this case the only logic).
This all is imho only a cludge. Imho we should think about how to
integrate userdefined ebuild-files more smoothly.
Ways doing this could be:
- Creating something like PORTAGE_PATH
- making a config file for categories in /etc and inherit all the
different categories (problem is the outside PORTDIR thing. But i
didn't understand why an ebuildfile explicitly defined fullpath must
be inside PORTDIR (question for the faq? ;))).
- making a subdir prestine and syncing only this (but the
categoriesproblem is still to be solved here).
But in this case i think cvs is the right answer, because making diffs
is more easy :)
Have fun.
Markus
