Hmm, a tree is on its own an overlay; if Funtoo doesn't want you to use |
| 11 |
it as an overlay, consider to contact them to ask how they expect you |
| 12 |
to use it. They perhaps have a good reason as to why not; but given |
| 13 |
it's just a package, you should be able to pull it from that overlay. |

Maybe they mean the general advice to watch out that if you do add the |
| 16 |
overlay, that you only use that package from it and not all; you might |
| 17 |
want to mask the rest using /etc/portage/package.mask (something like |
| 18 |
*/*::funtoo) and then unmask that kernel in /etc/portage/package.unmask |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Merging more than what you need from overlays is a recipe for disaster. |
