The ~sci would get removed, but it would be a one line difference that woul= d=20 be spotted quite easily. Ebuilds would still need the relevant archs to add= =20 their keywords when it went into the tree but it would give an easy way for= =20 people to emerge stuff from the overlay that might not have their keyword. > > How do you plan to keep this in sync with changes in the regular tree? > How is our own solution superior to getting together with gentopia or > something similar that already exists? > Like I said anything that gets moved into portage will be deleted from the= =20 overlay. I could probably write a script to check for conflicts but I didn'= t=20 envisage this being a major problem. I don't think it is necessarily superi= or=20 to gentopia or the php overlay - what would be the advantage of getting=20 together with them?

I thought it would be a good place to try=20 things out, and once they were working to put into portage.
