The snapshots are really just cvs dumps at a point in time where the devs get relatively few bugs reports. IIRC, august/september was a quiet period with no breakages so it should be ok to try out. The only gotcha I can think of is that there's a new base EFL package called eina and the ebuilds might not include it. See what "eix eina" returns. If nothing, then copy one of the smaller e17 libs ebuilds into your private overlay, change the obvious places to "eina" and emerge it first. Then emerge e. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
