Can't agree with that. Users should a) post their ebuilds at bugzilla, since |
| 8 |
it is the place, we track request and b) get them from there, forced to |
| 9 |
maintain their own overlay (and actually look at each ebuild), than trust |
| 10 |
some arbitrary overlay, that is neither supported security wise, nor is |
| 11 |
ensured that the ebuilds have a minimal quality (do not fubar a users |
| 12 |
system). |

Overlays make sense to perform changes how a whole range of packages are |
| 15 |
handled, to be merged with the official Portage tree, later. |

What you intend to do is just broken. Don't! |
