14 I haven't tried the autounmask option from portage, neither. The GNOME
15 overlay offers a series of files you can link to your
16 /etc/portage/package.{unmask,keywords,use,use.mask} directories: They
17 are located in
18
19 ${OVERLAYDIR}/status/portage-configs/
20
21 I haven't used those either, though. I prefer to unmask/keyword
22 packages myself. What I do know is that using live ebuilds is
23 basically flipping a coin; sometimes will work great, sometimes it
24 will not even compile.
25
26 Right now the only live ebuilds I'm using are:
27
28 gnome-extra/libgda-9999
29 media-sound/rhythmbox-9999
30 sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility-9999
31 gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extensions-weather-9999
32 gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extensions-system-monitor-9999
33
34 Everything else works with the latest non-live ebuilds.
35
36 Regards.
