And with regards to metadata directory, from https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-420004.7, "All contents are optional". I would assume layout.conf is Gentoo Portage specific instead of PMS specific.

If the documentation is lacking for these files, it must be fixed ASAP. Thanks for picking this up! -- Patrice Clement Gentoo Linux developer http://www.gentoo.org
[gentoo-dev] details on the PMS
I noticed that the following files are not mentioned, or stated optional in the PMS: - profiles/repo_name - metadata/layout.conf It seems to me that without these files, portage complains. Shouldn't them be declared as mandatory? - profiles/package.use and profiles/make.defaults (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/USE_ORDER) These files are not documented in the PMS: should the package manager recognize these files? (if so, I think it would be clearer to document them in the PMS) Also, in https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-430004.7.1 the directory is named metadata/cache while it is named metadata/md5-cache in my repository. Should I report something on the Gentoo Bugzilla? Best, Michael Lienhardt
