TLDR: Install (as in accept keyword) a newer version of Layman (at least 2.2.16), add the sync-plugin-portage USE-Flag, and maybe double check your /etc/layman/layman.cfg so it uses repos.conf. What layman then does, is creating a dedicated /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf, in which it automatically adds and removes overlays you add/remove via the usual layman commands. So in fact quite similar as the behavior with layman's make.conf, just with the new repos.conf. HTH and best wishes, --Flo

This is because recent changes of the infrastructure providing overlays, explanation it's on the frontpage(gentoo.org) Maybe a few examples of /etc/portage/repos.conf to look at? Maybe this is useful, what I have been doing, is use layman as always for external repos from gentoo overlays( layman -a ...), As far as I know the repos.conf still doesn't handle svn, so I think devs are keeping layman the way it is to not break this, but if I want to change something in a particular external overlay say java, what i do is this A new conf /etc/repos.conf/java.conf [java] priority = 100 location = /home/$MY_USER/$MY_OVERLAYS_DIR/java layman-type = git auto-sync = no And of course clone the repo to that dir and make my changes. Note the gentoo and local is fine. I keep /usr/local/portage for my stuff alone, so I guess I can just use the old layman dir stucture (/var/lib/layman) for my collection of exteranal repos? I find the use of /usr/local/portage less useful than making your own overlay, I have my own overlay in repos.conf pretty much the same as the example before /etc/repos.conf/j-overlay.conf:(This is my box used for development) [j-overlay] priority = 100 location = /home/$MY_USER/$MY_OVERLAYS_DIR/j-overlay layman-type = git auto-sync = no But I distribute it to some containers and some other gentoo installations by a little different config file: [j-overlay] location = /var/lib/portage/repos/j-overlay sync-type = git priority = 100 sync-uri = https://github.com/j-g-/j-overlay.git auto-sync = true And as expected, emerge --sync syncs the portage three(also via git) and changes I commit to my own overlay. I hope you find this useful.
[gentoo-user] repos.conf
Hello, So I nuked the /var/lib/layman/make.conf file. I have a list of sites (repos) I want to keep. Noodling around I figured out that I cannot use laymen to add git repos. bummer. So is there a tool/interface where I type something like 'layman -a java' and it writes out the file to /etc/portage/repos.conf/new.conf Layman -S pucked. So after following all the guides I must have missed something. Take java: * Warnings: * -- * The source of the overlay java seems to have changed. * You currently sync from * * git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java.git * * while the remote lists report * * 1. git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/java.git * 2. git+ssh://g...@git.gentoo.org/proj/java.git * 3. https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/proj/java.git * * as correct locations. * Please consider removing and re-adding the overlay. I tried this (layman -d java; layman -a java) but it just does the ond /var/lib/layman/ entry. No tool to select a git repo and make the new.conf file in /etc/portage/resos.conf/ dir? I'd prefer a default file created that I just then edit, or one big repo.conf file for overlays (formerly overlays not gits) for all the repos I want to add. Maybe a few examples of /etc/portage/repos.conf to look at? Note the gentoo and local is fine. I keep /usr/local/portage for my stuff alone, so I guess I can just use the old layman dir stucture (/var/lib/layman) for my collection of exteranal repos? maybe something like: /var/lib/repos/devs/ultrabug/ and /var/lib/repos/sot/unknown-hacker/ I really like to keep the gentoo dev repos separate for the at large gentoo repos now using git. I probably should not use this old /var/lib/layman/ sturcture for the new git repos..? Will those layman svn sites be going away? or just the ones run by gentoo-devs? Suggests on a sane schema for all of this is most welcome. (how are other organizing/labeling ad wide collect of repos, gentoo dev repos and their own (code)fiefdom? naming and location strategies are most welcome. Lacking organization on repos, James
[gentoo-user] repos.conf migration lost overlay priority
I migrated my portage config to the new repos.conf system. I now have a file /etc/portage/repos.conf/local.conf: [Local] location = /usr/local/portage auto-sync = no And removed the path from make.conf. However, now layman overlays override my local repo. If I copy an ebuild to /usr/local/portage (for modifications) and try to emerge it, it is not emerged. Instead, the ebuild from the other overlay is emerged. How do I make my local overlay have the highest priority so that it overrides *everything*?
