I think you misunderstand, [1] is not what I want to do(I think): Got my src working copy and made a few modds, not commitet yet. Now I just want build/test etc. before committing and to do that I just run mytree/overlay/dev-util/myapp/myapp.ebuild compile and voila, my code is built which I already have in mytree. > > > Then one can compile, install, build a binary pkg etc. just for test.
