I'll need to read up on how. The section on overlays left me with the impression that overlays were for experimental code, not for keeping private copies of packages. Anyway, I think I'll remove it from the world file, and mask it out, and look into the overlay. At least it will be ignored when I emerge world. I found that the > in the package.mask wasn't always enough though, as if I used the --update argument to emerge and my version wasn't in the portage tree anymore, emerge would get silly and offer to downgrade.
