[gentoo-user] PORTDIR_OVERLAY

[Beau E. Cox]

Hi -

I'm working on a series of ebuilds for the more esoteric
CPAN modules that I use. In the Gentoo Developer Handbook
there is a statement about PORTDIR_OVERLAY:

"In that directory, you must use the same structure
(and categories) as in /usr/portage."

OK. But I really want to make a new category, i.e. 'cpan';
( tried it, doesn't work ). Is there a way to 'fake out'
portage into using a new category without breaking
everything?
