Re: [gentoo-user] how to add an ebuild

[Skippy]

Thanks y'all

In addition to not using the local location, I didn't know about the
line in make.conf.

Done and done.  Plus I couldn't find the right info as I was searching
for "adding an ebuild" or such things instead of "adding local overlay"
which would have probably been more helpful.  :)

you should place it in /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-server

see above. You are doing it wrong. Everything in /usr/portage is nuked with 
the next sync if it isn't on the rsync-server. You have to put your own stuff 
into /usr/local/portage.
