assuming you've got your make.conf setup appropriately, the overlay
will take precisidence.
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/storage/repos/uberpenguin/trunk"
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf

I want to install an overlay of emacs-cvs but with different use flags
I'm following along with the instruction at:
http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/05/24/multi-tty-emacs-on-gentoo-and-ubuntu/
On my laptop I run Gentoo Linux. Getting the latest version of Emacs
on Gentoo was a breeze! :
* Setup Layman
* Add the emacs overlay: sudo layman -a emacs
* Add the following USE flags for app-editors/emacs-cvs: sudo
flagedit app-editors/emacs-cvs X Xaw3d alsa gif gzip-el jpeg
lesstif png sound spell tiff toolkit-scroll-bars xpm -gtk
-hesiod -motif -source.
* GTK support is explicitly turned off as it causes problems with
multi-TTY. This is no biggie for me as I always have
(menu-bar-mode -1) and (tool-bar-mode -1) set.
* Emerge: sudo emerge emacs-cvs -va
* Tell the system to use the new emacs: sudo eselect emacs set
emacs-23-multi-tty
To get emacs-multitty set up. It isn't really clear what role layman
plays in those instructions since the final command is
emerge emacs-cvs
Or will that automatically use the layman overlays.
Or maybe the author assumes I don't already have emacs installed from
/usr/portage.
I realize this is a little offhanded since its asking advice about 2nd
party instructions. But I have no experience whatever with layman or
using overlays at all. So thought maybe better to ask here than
directly to the author of those instructions.
