Version 1.7 simplifies the abilities added in 1.6 and makes them somewhat automatic. It emerges fine using a renamed 1.5 with all except the new driver added Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Confirmed. I just renamed the ebuild, created a digest, and it compiled and installed fine. I'm using it now :) Helped me bypass some silly build error I was getting with 1.2 (which is strange because I had already built 1.2, I was just rebuilding for a kernel upgrade.)
Ditto. Works great with renamed ebuild in portage overlay directory. Using now and for a few days. Found while cleaning out /etc/portage. (It sure is nice to see so few ebuilds left in /etc/portage after a nice cleaning.)
Version bump committed. Thanks for reporting.
