We have good instructions on our trac wiki page[1] for how to work with the overlay. The bottom of the page, point 6) adresses your problem. > I do not object to the concept of ebuilds in overlays. > > I do very much object to using any gentoo.org infrastructure or > subdomains to do so.

This is a problem, that we are working on, see [2] It is obvioous to see if an ebuild comes from an overlay or not with that change. Due to the good metastructure and project support in gentoo it is possible to have most of the overlay-work done in the projects [3] and [4] [1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/136031 [PATCH] Display a warning when an overlay-ebuild fails [3] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays [4] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/sunrise I am still against the idea of turning this into a flamewar. Better no comments than flaming comments. Please - keep it constructive. Kind regards, - Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
