6 After reading the arguments, i have to rechoice and feel a new clean + frsh
7 overlay could be be beneficial.

9 Also i think it would be good idea to start with clean ebuilds, without any
10 (gentoo-sepcific) patches, if they are not needed for a working copy of
11 trinity. This can be added later on..
