It is still possible to setup a read-writable portage tree |
| 7 |
(using overlayfs/aufs/unionfs-fuse/... e.g. using the squashmount |
| 8 |
tool from the mv overlay). |

However, currently this does not play nicely with squashdelta: |
| 11 |
You have to "undo" the mounting of squashdelta and have to use |
| 12 |
different command (e.g. squashmount) afterwards. |
| 13 |
Although this can probably be done e.g. in eix-sync with hooks, |
| 14 |
I hope that in the near future there will be a possibility to |
| 15 |
combine these methods more conveniently. |

Currently, I made only some remarks in comment #3 of bug 549716, |
| 18 |
because it seems that the sync module mechanism is currently |
| 19 |
lacking the infrastructure for adding custom data (like hooks) to |
| 20 |
a module. |
