patch for ebuild 1.8->9999

According to tt-rss FAQ (http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions):

"I thought about using trunk (e.g. development version from git), is it stable enough?

By all means, if you have basic git knowledge, go ahead and use trunk. I don't do truly experimental development on it because it's a daily driver for me personally and my friends who use the same instance, which is why it should stay functional. Actual versioned releases are not much more than tagged trunk snapshots taken at a given date.

By using trunk code you also help catching bugs in functionality I don't personally use before release, which makes it easier for people who don't follow trunk. It's good for everyone."

It will be great to add ebuild for trunk version (-9999 I think). I'm appling patch from 1.8 to -9999 ebuild. Please check it cause I'm beginer in ebuild writing.

Sorry, I have never done this before, and zero experience with -9999 ebuilds. Maybe you can maintain it yourself via proxy, or become a dev? ;)

I am not sure we need a 9999 ebuild for tt-rss. It's a web service so very few people will update it on a daily basis.

I have a little more then zero experience on any ebuilds at all. Sorry. But if I've guessed correctly there is nothing really difficult in 9999 in comparison with normal ebuilds. So if you will use attached patch seems that you can use it for a long time without changing.

Are 9999 ebuilds only for daily update? As we see from tt-rss FAQ quoted sometimes trunk versions can be more stable than "stable" ones. And it will be good to have ability to install it using webapps.

Sorry, but I think we don't need a live ebuild in the tree.  There are regular releases and you can run live via your own overlay if you must.
