4 This means one still has to monitor the output.

12 Thank you for pointing this out. It is a new stuff for me. I'll
13 investigate the documentation and give it a try.

21 Yes, I already have about 400MB of logs there. I still wonder when will
22 come the day I'll wipe them out. :)

32 The truth is there are only a few ebuilds I want to change something in.
33 Up to now in case I want to change something or the packages doesn't
34 compile the normal way, my practice is to use "ebuild `equery w
35 package-name` unpack", do my things in the temp dir, compile manually,
36 put a file ".compiled" and resume the installation.
37 May be I'll start using my own overlay after I collect "enough" packages.
