Grab the overlay you want to have installed, reversion it to |
12 |
$APCKAGE-9999 and put it in the local overlay. It will then always be |

merged instead of the current one in portage. |

You can even KEYWORDS="" the ebuild so you can quickly and easily change |
16 |
to the latest version in portage with a single entry |

in /etc/portage/package. |
