[gentoo-user] maintaining QM'ed overla

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


now that I'm forced to maintain my own QM'ed overlay, I'm looking
for some tools making it some bit easier: 

a) if I decide to take over some package, it must be absolutely
   clear that no more ebuilds from the main tree can get in
b) I need some automatic notification on updates on the main tree 
   for those packages.

Of course I could hack up something, but perhaps there already
is some proven tool for that ?

Put ">category/package-your.version" in /etc/portage/package/mask

Subscribe to the p.g.o RSS feed for your arch with an RSS enabled mailer
and have it filter and highlight updates for your packages.

PS Why do you have those ridiculous X-Headers in your mails?
