Hi all. Some questions rgd layman:
1. Seems like layman is hard-wired to contain the layman-global.txt
list of overlays. What's the reasoning behind this? My issue
w/this is that, lately, when gentoo.org was unreachable, this
hard-wiring presented considerable hangs on fetch attempts.
It's definitely NOT hardcoded.
# grep www.gentoo.org /etc/layman/layman.cfg
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
amit0 ~ # grep -A 10 self.defaults\ =
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/layman/config.py
self.defaults = {'config' : '/etc/layman/layman.cfg',
'storage' : '/usr/portage/local/layman',
'cache' : '%(storage)s/cache',
'local_list': '%(storage)s/overlays.xml',
'make_conf' : '%(storage)s/make.conf',
'nocheck' : 'yes',
'proxy' : '',
'umask' : '0022',
'overlays' :
*
'http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.'*
'txt',}
When I invoke the following, I see http interaction w/gentoo.org:
layman -c /dev/null -N -f -a oversi -o file:///tmp/layman-oversi.xml
which AFAIK doesn't read /etc/layman/layman.cfg.
http interaction indicated by running 'tshark host www.gentoo.org' while
executing the above.
