Let me quote from the -9999 ebuild: "The git master branch (what you get with this -9999 ebuild) for catalyst now contains the work-in-progress code for catalyst-3.x. Be aware that it's very likely that it will not be in a working state at any given point." Also, please be aware that I have brought up the question of deleting the 3.x altogether. That means: In case you start using -9999 we really need to know, so we don't pull the chair that you just sat down on. On the /usr/src issue I would like to ask you to file a bug for it. Copy-pasting from your original mail should be fine. Thanks for bringing it up. Best, Sebastian
