Add custom ebuilds to Portage with overlays

Linux, Gentoo

First, create an directory for the overlays. Let's say /opt/portage and add a PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/portage" to make.conf. Finally, place the ebuild in the directory as //***ebuild.

Afterwards, you might run

hostname:$ ebuild foo/bar/bar-1.ebuild

digest to populate the build
