I had a look at the documentation, and gave up. It appears to be written BY developers who have several overlays on their machines, FOR developers who have several overlays on their machines, and assumes significant knowledge in managing multiple overlays on a machine. For those of us who run bog-standard machines without all those bells and whistles, it comes as a shock to the system. What is the quickest-n-dirtiest conversion to the "new order"? Can someone please post a bog-standard example... *WITHOUT* inheriting a gazillion eclasses and/or cascading multiple overlays? The SYNC statement in my make.conf is...
