Urgh. I thought we were talking about edited/newer files, not about |
| 11 |
ignoring newer stuff... |

You could perhaps work around this with a little shell script that |
| 14 |
scans your overlay and deletes any directory of the original portage tree |
| 15 |
that is present in the overlay before copying the overlay over the |
| 16 |
original. |

Something like: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Overlay: |
| 21 |
foo/bar/bar-1.1.ebuild |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Original: foo/bar/bar-1.2.ebuild |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Check: overlay/foo/bar exists. delete original/foo/bar. copy overlay |
| 26 |
foo/bar original/foo/bar. |
| 27 |

The more special your wishes become, the more I have the impression that |
| 29 |
you are asking for trouble and hard to locate bugs :-) |
