Hmmmmm. I currently have to add about 6 lines manually for each overlay into repos.conf/overlays:: last entry:: [pentoo] priority = 50 location = /var/lib/layman/pentoo sync-type = git sync-uri = git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/pentoo.git auto-sync = yes So your saying do this for every overlay? Surely there is just a way to concatenate metadata (or info) from overlays into a single file (periodically) to perform this parse? Or am I just being 'dense' here and not understanding what you suggest? I understand that what you are saying will work, but installing every overlay to search out package listings and descriptions seems awkward; like there ought to be a better (lightweight) way to do this? And then there is the problem:: Package net-analyzer/wpscan-2.9.1 is missing metadata.xml (when not installed) But this (description) info is visable via zugania:: https://gpo.zugaina.org/Search?search=wpscan After installing wpscan, metadata is still not available. but the description is via 'eix wpscan' is available.
