[gentoo-user] Local portage ebuilds

[James]

Hello,

I use the stable portage tree for most everything.
I use and test quite a few overlays.
Both of these are great.

But now, I'm hacking a small collection my own ebuilds that focus
on some specific needs and science, which I shall refer to collectively as
local ebuilds. I'm curious how other folks would suggest to keep them
separate from the main portage tree and the overlays, but easily
maintainable on my own workstation.


Semantical suggestions via google seem to be dated.
Observanations and other ideas are most welcome for keeping a bunch
of "local" ebuilds managed and reliable on a stable gentoo system
and as much as possible using the standard gentoo system tools.


tia,
James
