Why not merely add an overlay to the main tree and put the testing |
| 22 |
packages in the overlay. Then instruct users to add the overlay to |
| 23 |
their portage settings. Testing overlay for testing, p.mask for broken |
| 24 |
packages. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
/usr/portage/overlay/cat/pkg/bla.ebuild |
| 27 |
or |
| 28 |
/usr/portage/testing/cat/pkg/bla.ebuild |
| 29 |
and so on... |
