My apologies, I thought that the local ebuilds were NOT checked against |
| 7 |
packages.mask. |

I've just tried the same thing as you, with the same results. |

It would make sense (to me anyway) if the local ebuilds in |
| 12 |
$PORTDIR_OVERLAY were *NOT* checked against packages.mask, that way us |
| 13 |
end users could assist the developers by simply dropping masked ebuilds |
| 14 |
into our local tree and then testing them. Sure it means that there is |
| 15 |
duplication and some extra hard drive space taken up, but ebuilds aren't |
| 16 |
that big. Also for those wishing to test ebuilds it would be a |
| 17 |
conscious decision to place a masked ebuild in your local tree. |

Maybe I should submit a bug about this. Any devs care to comment? |
