Create local copy of kvaio.cpp in /software/kmilo:

Code: ls -l /software/kmilo 
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root        root  17073 May 13 23:38 kvaio.cpp

Enable overlays in make.conf

Code: 
# cat /etc/make.conf | grep PORTDIR_OVERLAY
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

Configure portage overlay for kmilo:

Code: 
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kmilo
cp /usr/portage/kde-base/kmilo/* /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kmilo/*

Modify kmilo-3.5.2.ebuild to copy over new kvaio.cpp during emerge:

DESCRIPTION="kmilo - a kded module that can be extended to support various types of hardware
input devices that exist, such as those on keyboards."

src_compile() {

    echo *** +++++++++++++++ COPY kvaio.cpp +++++++++++++++++ ***

    cp -f /software/kmilo/kvaio.cpp /var/tmp/portage/kmilo-3.5.2/work/kmilo-3.5.2/kmilo/kmilo_kvaio/kvaio.cpp

    #read
    
	local myconf="$(use_with pbbuttonsd powerbook)"

	kde-meta_src_compile
}

Update digest on kmilo-3.5.2.ebuild

Code: 
ebuild /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kmilo/kmilo-3.5.2.ebuild digest

Build kmilo, this will rebuild kde libs dependent on kvaio

Code: 
emerge kmilo

Build nvclock 0.8 beta

Code: 
emerge nvclock

Restart kde

Eventually it is necessary to create a link from the nvclock binary if it doesn't exist in /usr/local/bin

Code: 
ln /usr/bin/nvclock /usr/local/bin/nvclock


Done.

REQUEST: if you've gone this far, please consider creating & sharing the ebuild instead if the above. Thank you.
