I know a couple of packages where there's more than one upstream and there might be a good reason to not use the original one. But I admit that this is corner case. > - metadata.xml changes With limitations. > - Version bumps where the only requirement is to "cp" the ebuild Just "cp"'ing the ebuilds is the reason that so many ebuilds are still a nightmare and full of little nasty bugs. This is a complete no-go since there are so many things a careful maintainer has to consider (besides checking the packages changelog, the dependencies, the license, the docs, etc. he should also check the ebuild).
