The overlay is used for user-controlled portage trees. By default,
there is no overlay defined, you'll need to uncomment PORTDIR_OVERLAY
in /etc/make.conf.

Make the directory, which the commented default is /usr/local/portage

You need to make the directory structure in the overlay so it's just
like in the standard portage directory. If you want to add virtual/foo
to your overlay in /usr/local/portage, you'd make the directory
/usr/local/portage/virtual.

Then, I do the easy way, which is 'cp -a /usr/portage/virtual/foo
/usr/local/portage/virtual'. This copies the full directory tree of
foo to the overlay.

Then, edit the ebuild you want to add a new keyword to. If I wanted to
add the sparc keyword to foo-1.0, I'd edit that ebuild, and then add
'sparc' to the KEYWORDS="" section.

After you've added the keyword, do 'ebuild foo-1.0.ebuild digest' to
update the digest with the updated ebuild.

You can now go ahead and emerge that version of the package.

HTH,
Mike
