11 Hmmm, it seems the x11 overlay is missing a whole bunch of stuff as it
12 complains:
13
14 alculating dependencies... done!

16 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.1.3"
17 have been masked.
18 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
19 - x11-proto/xineramaproto-9999 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)
20 /usr/portage/local/layman/x11/profiles/package.mask:
21 # Don't let people install these accidentally
22
23
24 For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
25 man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
26 (dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-server-9999" [ebuild])
27 (dependency required by "world" [argument])

29 danny ~ # less /usr/portage/local/layman/x11/x11-proto/xineramaproto/
30 Manifest xineramaproto-9999.ebuild

32 Which hits the overlays own masks. It looks like I'll have to go back
33 to my own hand crafted overlay but with the package.mask overided as
34 you suggested.
