Thank you for your contribution. I had a short look on the ebuild. Here a few ideas: * sed lines need || die * Guru is probably a good overlay for this package for a start.

As said for the yuzu ebuild, I'm still not in touch with the guru folks, but some years ago used to submit some packages to sunrise, as guru seems to be the next gen sunrise, I'll try to chat a bit. I may also publish my local overlays on gitlab, nearly hundred packages, I'm currently trying to polish their content: QA, old eclasses removal, use EAPI 7 everywhere, make repoman happy, make all package fully usable, rework dependencies and flags, ...

Created attachment 697101 [details] citra-canary-9999.ebuild This is basically the same ebuild, but synchronised to the "canary" repository. To allow both version of citra to be installed concurrently, all binary are renamed in the build system.
The GURU overlay added what appears to be the "citra-9999.ebuild" from this request several months ago: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/guru/tree/master/games-emulation/citra That's nice. Fantastic work, Sam! Still, the companion "citra-canary-9999.ebuild" has yet to be packaged with GURU. Sam: would you mind submitting a pull request (PR) to GURU adding your "canary" variant? Lastly, thanks for the volunteer enthusiasm. Sam's clearly invested a tremendous amount of work into unbundling Citra's *MANY* bundled dependencies. Once the newest stable release of Citra drops, it'd be great to get a stable variant of these ebuilds into Portage itself.
I still have the canary variant in my local overlay. But there's still an annoying thing: the citra-room is not working. I renamed all binaries with s/citra/&-canary/ but I surely forgot to change the call to the binary to citra-room in sources, or it is something else. I'm not sure the canary variant offers more things than the vanilla one, but I can still drop the ebuild to guru. I was doing the same thing for the yuzu ebuild, it pointed to yuzu sources which are "canary", but now I decided to move it to yuzu-mainline, at this point "canary" version of yuzu doesn't offer more than mainline.
About versionned ebuild, I have to make snapshots of all my live ebuilds. I highly doubt some upstream versioned thing will come up.
