The snapshots are really just cvs dumps at a point in time where the devs get |
| 15 |
relatively few bugs reports. IIRC, august/september was a quiet period with |
| 16 |
no breakages so it should be ok to try out. |

The only gotcha I can think of is that there's a new base EFL package called |
| 19 |
eina and the ebuilds might not include it. See what "eix eina" returns. If |
| 20 |
nothing, then copy one of the smaller e17 libs ebuilds into your private |
| 21 |
overlay, change the obvious places to "eina" and emerge it first. Then emerge |
| 22 |
e. |
