What is not clear is how to control the search order in these repositories. I'd like to arrange that my local repository is searched first with a fallback to the official repository, primarily so that I can avoid compiling some of the monsters like libreoffice, firefox etc. while still having packages with my selected options and custom patches where I want them. Anyone know if it's possible to set this up reliably ? -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
