Exactly. The overlay is used first, if a copy exists there. Of course, you'll need to re-digest the changed version, and anything in FILESDIR it uses will need to be moved to the overlay FILESDIR, or an attempted merge of the package with an overlay copy existing will fail, (IOW, it will prefer the overlay copy and fail if the digest doesn't match, even if a digest matching copy exists in the main portage tree), but that should follow from the above. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
