The upstream overlay tends to be ahead in terms of releases, and the official Gentoo ebuilds tend to be ahead in terms of formal QA compliance and packaging-related bugs, deps, etc. We do share, however. The biggest difference right now between the two is that the Gentoo ebuilds are no longer using the eclass until we can get rid of 0.23 and update the eclass. I do plan to maintain a stable mythtv branch, whether in portage or in an overlay regardless. Rich
