I use the overlay and the last major update was a pain. I had errors when compiling the preserved-rebuild list, so I had to create a bash script and do them individually. Sometimes a package needed something further down in the list, so I had to compile that one first. If I remember correctly I had to compile a couple of packages with --nodeps, but I am not sure about that. I hope this helps you. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
