Support for PROPERTIES="live" has been suggested for Portage some time ago, see bug 233589. This should be also documented as an allowed token for PROPERTIES in PMS. Suggested definition: | live | The package uses 'live' source code that may vary each time that | the package is installed. Since the spec also says that "ebuilds may not rely upon any token being supported", and I believe that we could simply add this without an EAPI bump.
Created attachment 583576 [details, diff] Recognise "live" as token in PROPERTIES.
