Exactly. The overlay is used first, if a copy exists there. |

Of course, you'll need to re-digest the changed version, and anything in |
25 |
FILESDIR it uses will need to be moved to the overlay FILESDIR, or an |
26 |
attempted merge of the package with an overlay copy existing will fail, |
27 |
(IOW, it will prefer the overlay copy and fail if the digest doesn't |
28 |
match, even if a digest matching copy exists in the main portage tree), |
29 |
but that should follow from the above. |
