Bugzilla Bug 141691

Hi.

Just installed layman (1.0.5) and wanted to change storage location (to
/usr/local/overlays). But seems like it is ignoring this option. I looked
through the sources and didn't found any place, where config file would have
been read and parsed.

Can this be fixed, please?


Here're my details:

The config file gets read in lines 164-169 in config.py. But I introduced an
error in the default path to the config file. As a workaround you can use the
-c flag with layman or you wait until layman-1.0.6 hits your local mirror. I
just added it to cvs. Thanks for your report.
