what more info is needed ?

what i would like to do is have my testing ebuilds in my local overlays before
thay are added in the portage, but since net-fido is not in the tree i can't
even test it

if its not needed tell me how then

#37806 seems relative to this aswell, but i will not call it email

I'm sorry, what is net-fido? We cannot add an ebuild if you tell use zero
information and fill "null" into the URL. Duh!

http://www.google.com/search?q=fidonet&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

this could be very fun if more info is still needed to create an portage tree

I'm sorry, I have no clue what are you requesting. If you want to create a new
*category*, then no -  we won't be adding dummy categories for non-existent
ebuilds. You can easily add a custom category yourself, see man portage. 

echo "net-fido" >> /etc/portage/categories

If you are requesting an ebuild, then you miserably failed to provide any useful
information whatsoever.
