16 Well lets return to normal syntax for a moment.
17 DEPEND=">=foo-bar/baz-2.1"
18 And lets assume this package is named "blar" because I enjoy that name.
19
20 emerge blar --repo=ciaranmssekritrepo

22 This accomplishes the same thing, except I get to name the repo whatever
23 I wish, and you lose the ability to specify repositories in DEPEND.
