1 As of now you can specify a local repository to use for local ebuilds.
2 To do so you need to define PORTDIR_OVERLAY= in your make config.
3 Define it to be the directory to hold the local rep. Mine is:
4
5 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
6
7 also make sure it's layed out like the normal repository with the
8 categorized directories. It will not be replaced when doing an rsync.
