No. No idea what that is. Sounds interesting, though.
It is a local portage tree with ebuilds that you have either written
yourself or downloaded from others. Since the overlay will override
what is in portage, you can easily get yourself into trouble this way.
So it is not really recommended unless you *really* know what you are
doing!
[nomerge ] dev-util/mono-tools-1.1.11
[ebuild N ] dev-dotnet/gecko-sharp-0.6
[nomerge ] www-client/mozilla-1.7.13
*Sigh*. What a mess. Unfortunately the Gentoo dev's have taken the
rather unusual step of _breaking the tree_ due to a security problem.
And from what I understand [1], mozilla is going to be package masked
today (if it hasn't already), so the block messages should go away,
but you'll get even worse "no package to satisify" messages.
At this point your choices are fairly limited, and neither one is very good.
1. Unmerge both mono-tools and gecko-sharp. Mono-tools requires
gecko-sharp, and that requires mozilla. You can use "equery files
mono-tools" to see what you will lose by going this route.
2. Manually unmask mozilla (and probably mono-tools and gecko-sharp)
to keep them around. This might work, but I think you're going to be
jumping through a lot of hoops to try and avoid seamonkey.
