I humbly disagree. ;) As in /usr/portage also in portage overlay ebuild is stable if you mark it stable using KEYWORDS. Portage overlays are our 'private' portage trees, and they are in no thing 'worse' than 'official' ebuilds. You know that old saying: 'A Gentooman's overlay is his castle' ;) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by "grep -i virus $MESSAGE" Trust me.
