Hi,
I have several packages that I maintain my own ebuilds for, as it's CVS
sources. I keep these in /usr/local/portage. As it happens ebuilds for
these same packages are also in layman, and I have the relevant overlay
enabled.
So far it would appear that my local overlay is taking precedence over
layman. I've read the layman docs and there is an option for
precedence, but it seems to apply to layman only, and that's not what I
want. The portage docs seems to be sparse on this matter of overlays.
I want to guarantee that foo-9999.ebuild in /usr/local/portage will be
emerged in preference to an identically named and versioned ebuild in
layman. How do I do that?
If I can't guarantee this, I'd also be happy bumping my ebuilds to
foo-99999.ebuild, but I'd rather do it with a config option if
possible.
