After a prolonged time of dormancy, this overlay is under
active maintenance again. This news item summarises about a
month of work.
== What has changed ==
== AI / LLM assistance ==
AI-assisted work begins with commit 075ff35d (2026-04-19); the last fully-human commit is d0e1aa01 (2026-04-18) — a clean before/after boundary for review or bisect.
The maintainer uses LLM tooling for mechanical work; every commit is human-reviewed before landing, and the maintainer bears responsibility for correctness. Full policy and PR disclosure expectation: CONTRIBUTING.md, "🤖 AI / LLM assistance".
Regressions, or anything that looks LLM-generated and wrong: file at github.com/istitov/stuff/issues with the failing emerge log.

== What has changed ==
- Per-package audits — pkgcheck cleanups, dated rationale for suppressions, metadata.xml normalization.
- Version handling — keep last-of-each-major for rollback; drop versions whose upstream caps don't solve against ::gentoo rather than relax the cap.
- sys-kernel/pf-sources -r70 GA-based slots — see the separate news item dated 2026-05-06.
- Sister distfile repo at github.com/istitov/extra-stuff for bundled patches that would otherwise hit pkgcheck's SizeViolation in the main overlay.
