Also forgot to mentioned that, overlay is the only place where you can |
12 |
learn the Gentoo workflow, _before_ becoming an actual dev. |
13 |
In overlay you can do things like, repoman commit, manifest signing, |
14 |
package{.use} masking etc. That's IMO invaluable experience for would-be |
15 |
dev. It's one thing writing about it in quizzes and another actually |
16 |
doing it. |
