I'm just curious. Could you explain more how the live ebuilds make version bumps easier and less error prone? My experience with chromium-9999 ebuild is different. Indeed users do test it and report very useful "early warning" bugs, but when I actually do a version bump I also have to modify the live ebuild, and that modification is usually untested. Furthermore, when one of local Gentoo patches lands upstream, the live ebuild has to be modified again. If there are some tips/techniques that work for you and make live ebuilds more helpful, I'd like to learn a bit more. Paweł
