  Hi,
 Yesterday i ended up created an ebuild to build jack from cvs - ardour
 needed v0.41 and gentoo is still using the 0.34 release. Updating jack
 broke alsaplayer (v0.99.72 is the latest in portage and the support
 for jack v0.4+ is in 0.99.73 :-) ) and it looks like another cvs build
 is in order...
 How are others coping with this stuff? Is anyone interested in setting
 up somewhere to share ebuilds, working together on getting them into
 the official portage? 
Yeah, I'm up for this. I'm not too familiar with making ebuilds, but it
looks to be fairly straightforward. At the moment, I've just set up a
hierarchy under /opt, where I manually (configure, make) compile +
install stuff. The trouble with this is that not all packages give the
option to specify a location (--foo-lib=DIR), and assumes stuff is
installed in /usr (grrr :)
