This is not possible with current portage. I think with paludis you can mask packages based on repositories, don't know about pkgcore though. You should be able to work around this by doing something like this in /etc/make.conf PORTDIR="/your/port/dir" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/your/overlays $PORTDIR" This way portage prefers the the packages from the portage tree over packages with equal versions in overlays. -- Daniel Pielmeier
