FWIW I'm using a slightly modified -9999 ebuild that sets a number of (git-2.eclass) egit-* vars only if they're not already set... ... and then setting them in /etc/portage/env/net-nntp/pan-9999 I posted both the ebuild and the env file probably about 3 months ago, for anyone interested. I've updated my local copy of the env file to keep up with hmueller's repo move to gnome/testing (plus added a couple extra egit-* vars to the ebuild) since, but didn't have anyone say they were going to use it when I posted it, so I've not been posting updates. With the updated ebuild and env file, changing which repo and branch I use, or reverting to a specific commit if I don't want HEAD, etc, is as simple as changing a couple vars in the env file. =:^) I also have a "pgit" script, along with a few symlinks to it (taking a hint from various *ix utils, it changes behavior based on the name it's invoked as), that make running git whatchanged, git show, git bisect (that bit's untested, I hacked it when I was going to bisect a pan issue a week or two ago, but by the time I got it setup to do so, Heinrich had already fixed the problem I was going to bisect, upstream!), etc, on a live-git ebuild package, or on a git-based overlay, MUCH easier. It's not as generalized as I'd like yet, requiring me to set a number of internal config variables for each git-based overlay or git-live ebuild I want to use it with, but it has made it MUCH easier for me to keep up with changes in both git-based overlays and git-based live-ebuilds. Again, not so many are running gentoo here, but if someone does and wants the updated ebuild, env file, and/or a copy of the pgit helper script I use, just ask, and I can post them and additionally, post updates as necessary. If I get several others using them too, I might eventually create an overlay and create a few packages out of my scripts, etc, but that's overkill ATM, since AFAIK I'm the only one using 'em anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
