6 You can configure eclass override behavior via eclass-overrides in
7 /etc/portage/repos.conf, as documented in `man portage`. There are a
8 number of caveats to eclass-overrides, and that's why it's not the
9 default behavior. For example, beware that you'll need to set
10 PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude=/metadata/cache" if your overlay
11 eclasses modify any ebuild metadata (as documented in `man portage`).
