Hello, I use the stable portage tree for most everything. I use and test quite a few overlays. Both of these are great.
But now, I'm hacking a small collection my own ebuilds that focus on some specific needs and science, which I shall refer to collectively as local ebuilds. I'm curious how other folks would suggest to keep them separate from the main portage tree and the overlays, but easily maintainable on my own workstation. Semantical suggestions via google seem to be dated. Observanations and other ideas are most welcome for keeping a bunch of "local" ebuilds managed and reliable on a stable gentoo system and as much as possible using the standard gentoo system tools. tia, James
