14 I don't really see the point of ~sci, since the rest of the ebuild will
15 probably need to get diffed against the regular tree anyway if there are
16 any changes.

18 How do you plan to keep this in sync with changes in the regular tree?
19 How is our own solution superior to getting together with gentopia or
20 something similar that already exists?

22 | It provides a great way to train herd testers in a safer (than the main

24 stuff
25 | is moved into the portage tree it should of course be deleted from the
26 | repository.

28 OK, so this overlay is only for new packages, and not for changes to
29 existing ones?
