What I do when I want only one or two packages from an overlay is to add that overlay with layman, but do not add it to make.conf. Then I symlink the package directories I do want from the layman overlay into my local overlay. That way the overlay is kept up to date by layman, but only the packages I choose to link to are actually available. -- Neil Bothwick If God can't help you, how about Mr. Coffee?
