Greetings,

recently I received an "*.ebuild" file for a little piece of software I
need. However, trying to find instructions in the Gentoo wiki regarding
the creation of a local overlay utilizing this ebuild file up to now on-
ly revealed confusing and/or outdated information.

Could anybody point me to some up-to-date guide explaining how to create
a local overlay which just utilizes this ebuild file and the external
Git repository specified within it?

Sincerely,
Rainer

`eselect repository create localrepo` will create an overlay (now
officially called repository) in /var/db/repos/localrepo.
