Hello! And regards and respect to your work. But i have recommendation for this project. It's silly to add mv overlay for just 2 ebuilds which can be easily ported to your overlay. mv overlay have mess with too many packages from official gentoo tree. As workaround i've masked whole mv overlay, but it's still silly.

Thanks! As much as I'd like GentooLTO to be self contained, I'm not sure how to keep everything in sync between both repos at the same time. The current approach means I have to think less about what kind of updates are happening in mv.

I don't think there will be too many changes, this is generic portage tweak. And will work until they change ABI, but i don't belive in that.

In order to avoid overrides from mv, have you tried fiddling with the priority setting for the repo in /etc/portage/repos.conf? You could probably ensure that its priority is lower than the main portage tree (so no override by default), and make wanted overrides explicit by adding <package-category>/<package-name>::mv for individual ebuilds to your world set.
