I use local overlays (the main one also available on GitHub) more than<br>
going outside Portage. But it occurred to me that I also install<br>
calibre outside of Portage, in /usr/local; it’s notorious for not<br>
working when repackaged. And I do have parts of TeXLive installed by<br>
Portage because they get pulled in, but if I actually want to use TeX<br>
I have the real, complete TeXLive distribution installed in my home.<br>
