But even if that occurs, it really isn't a big deal. You'll just need |
| 10 |
to copy the ebuild to your local overlay and preserve the distfiles. |

Portage makes it really simple to manage packages outside of the main |
| 12 |
portage tree. And if you have a problem with the ebuild, it is fairly |
| 13 |
easy to find someone willing to help. |
