I think in that case you unmask and use the 9999 ebuilds that will fetch the
latest sources via git. These ebuilds inherit the git-2 eclass[1] that let you
override the repository, branch and commit via the
packagename_LIVE_REPO
packagename_LIVE_BRANCH
packagename_LIVE_COMMIT
environment variables; packagename should just be the ebuild name with hyphens
replaced by underscores: sage, sage_clib, sage_baselayout, sage_doc.
If you need to apply some additional patches, e.g. for gentoo specific
changes, use the epatch_user[2] functionality and put the patches under
/etc/portage/patches/sci-mathematics/<PF|P|PN>[:SLOT]/
e.g.
/etc/portage/patches/sci-mathematics/sage-9999/fix-directory.patch
(patch must end with ".patch"). This way you should not need to setup a new
overlay, maybe a little script that sets all environment variables will be
useful.
Cheers,
Christopher
