8 you did it the correct way but that's what happens when you're alone in a team
9 and are moving without reliable internet connection then emails & other stuff
10 start to pile up :/

28 Feel free to last rite it; or better: step up as a maintainer and bump it so
29 that you'll be sure to always have the greatest version and don't depend on
30 texlive's yearly releases :)
31 (and even better: join tex herd if you're interested in doing such bumps)

40 yes though if its in texlive I usually want to remove them from the texlive's
41 bundle if single packages are maintained (avoiding installing useless files
42 with texlive's ebuilds that will be overlayed by yours)

47
48 you must set:
49 TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf-site
50 in both ebuilds so that they are installed there and are used as overlay
51 (yes the eclass' default should be changed)

56 dont forget to use mirror://gentoo for this one when moving to the tree
