$ grep SLOT\= *.ebuild emacs-18.59-r4.ebuild:SLOT="18" emacs-21.4-r14.ebuild:SLOT="21" emacs-22.1-r3.ebuild:SLOT="22" $ grep SLOT\= *.ebuild emacs-cvs-22.1.50-r2.ebuild:SLOT="22" emacs-cvs-23.0.50-r1.ebuild:SLOT="23" emacs-cvs-23.0.60-r1.ebuild:SLOT="23-unicode" That's how we solved it for GNU Emacs...but we had to tackle file collisions for a while, but now you can have all versions side by side. Branches are easily distinguished by version numbers in upstream's repository, but Emacs may be a special case.
