I'd prefer to not see a bunch of these, but having a single dummy package in portage doesn't really seem like a bad thing. Diego suggested using an overlay instead. If you don't want to deal with overlay logic another option might be to just make a replica of the whole tree and host that somewhere else and just point to it for syncing. Then you can do anything you want to anything in the "tree." Rich
