I'm just curious. Could you explain more how the live ebuilds make |
| 7 |
version bumps easier and less error prone? |

My experience with chromium-9999 ebuild is different. Indeed users do |
| 10 |
test it and report very useful "early warning" bugs, but when I actually |
| 11 |
do a version bump I also have to modify the live ebuild, and that |
| 12 |
modification is usually untested. Furthermore, when one of local Gentoo |
| 13 |
patches lands upstream, the live ebuild has to be modified again. |

If there are some tips/techniques that work for you and make live |
| 16 |
ebuilds more helpful, I'd like to learn a bit more. |
