You can also create a /usr/local/portage with the same structure as /usr/portage. Modify /etc/make.conf to show it exists. Then you can keep ebuilds that you want to test or create your own in the local portage. I do this to keep them out of the main portage. In either case ebuilds in either directory are picked up automatically.

Hi,
There is a small app I wanted to try. I found an ebuild has been done
recently and is in Bugailla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27390
I've downloaded the two files but don't know how to use them correctly. I'm
guessing that I need to move it to somewhere under /usr/portage, but I do
not know where to put it. Does it matter if I remember to remove it later?
How do I tell portage that this new file is there? Is there a database I
have to update, or will the directory just be searched?
Thanks in advance, Mark
