Yeah, |

Sorry about the double posting, patrick told me about a gmail "feature" |
| 3 |
that means you never see your own posts... |

I agree that the updates should only affect that individual tree. |
| 5 |
Whilst I can imagine cases where a move in the main tree should affect |
| 6 |
overlay trees (such as recategorizing some net-misc ebuilds into a |
| 7 |
net-proxy category), that could at least be emulated with a per-tree |
| 8 |
move directive fairly easily. |
| 9 |
It sounds as though the answer is that there currently no way to do |
| 10 |
these kinds of moves, so what's the next step? Should I try and hack up |
| 11 |
a version to deal with updates on a per tree basis? Is it actively |
| 12 |
being developed and I'm just unaware of it? What can I do to help get |
| 13 |
this feature into a future version of portage? It would be very useful |
| 14 |
to have, because at the moment network administrator's can't quite use |
| 15 |
overlays as a software management mechanism... |
| 16 |
Thanks for you time, |
