[gentoo-user] overlay conflicts

[gentoo-user] overlay conflicts

[Andrey Vul]

Given package ~foo/bar-1.2.3 from overlay A and package
**foo/bar-1.2.3 from overlay B, emerge uses the masking in overlay B
(**). How do I set it to use overlay A when emerging =foo/bar-1.2.3
(i.e. ~foo/bar-1.2.3) ?

it's a hack, but you could edit the overlay ebuild and take out the 
KEYWORDS...

You can also tell portage to prefer your /usr/portage directory over an 
overlay, by setting make.conf:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage"
(or something - play around with the order).  But then this is done for 
all packages (with the same version).

So I just rearrange the order in /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf?

Not sure if this is (already) possible with latest portage, but with paludis I 
can specify from which overlay I want to install, i.e. =foo/bar-1.2.3::A.

HTH...
