We have good instructions on our trac wiki page[1] for how to work with the |

overlay. The bottom of the page, point 6) adresses your problem. |

This is a problem, that we are working on, see [2] |
| 22 |
It is obvioous to see if an ebuild comes from an overlay or not with that |

change. Due to the good metastructure and project support in gentoo it is |
| 24 |
possible to have most of the overlay-work done in the projects [3] and [4] |

I am still against the idea of turning this into a flamewar. Better no |
| 33 |
comments than flaming comments. Please - keep it constructive. |
