I'll need to read up on how. The section on overlays left me with the |
| 6 |
impression that overlays were for experimental code, not for keeping private |
| 7 |
copies of packages. |

Anyway, I think I'll remove it from the world file, and mask it out, and look |
| 10 |
into the overlay. At least it will be ignored when I emerge world. |

I found that the > in the package.mask wasn't always enough though, as if I |
| 13 |
used the --update argument to emerge and my version wasn't in the portage tree |
| 14 |
anymore, emerge would get silly and offer to downgrade. |
