Martin & Jason, Thanks for your responses. I'll keep copies in my home directory to ensure nothign gets lost.
How long before this sort of thing ends up in emerge sync naturally?
2 weeks to 2 months, I think, sometimes longer. Depends on the ebuild you have. New ebuilds take much longer than updates.
Martin
Cheers, MArk
