You're welcome. You can use the PORTDIR_OVERLAY for ebuilds you modify or do
yourself, too.
Have fun.

I uncommented the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in /etc/make.conf, leaving it
at the default /usr/local/portage, which I created. I'm not sure what
part of the directory structure from /usr/portage I should duplicate in
/usr/local/portage however. /usr/portage is ~1.5G in size. I'm also not
sure how to
Check out the ebuild docs at Gentoo's web site to get some information
about ebuilds.
I activate the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in /etc/make.conf, create the
directory (default is /usr/local/portage) and create a directory
structure just like /usr/portage has for the program I want to install.
I'm new to Gentoo (been using Linux for about 8 years) and I'm trying to
find my way around the ebuild/portage/emerge school of thought.
I recently found a piece of software where the author supplies a .ebuild
file.
How can I install the software as a package using this .ebuild file?
