18 know that the 9999 ebuilds should be live, and that default it should
19 be snap? I am completely puzzled by the ebuilds.
20
21 In other words, is it hardcoded somethere in portage that all 9999
22 version numbers automatically trigger that variable above to be live?
23 Or is there some configuration somewhere?
24
25 Also, is this what all that fuss about EAPI is about? The
26 enlightenment ebuilds in the tree looks quite different from the ones
27 in the overlay.
