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. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
