I had app-portage/layman-1.1.1 and it had the following: $ ls -l /usr/portage/local/layman/ total 84 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 296 Apr 23 15:24 cache_37a5257b888e1920f44e365a6c378030.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53240 Jun 2 09:43 cache_65bd38402ac8431067b54904bd2ed2d1.xml drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Mar 27 16:35 desktop-effects drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Apr 2 09:32 gentopia drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:34 kvm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 30 15:34 make.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1686 Apr 30 15:34 overlays.xml drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 23 2007 sajinet So I had gentopia, desktop-effects, sajunet and kvm overlays. Now I upgraded which changed the default path. It no longer thinks I have any overlays installed... ok.. fine.. $ sudo layman -a gentopia * Running command "/usr/bin/git clone "git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gentopia.git/" "/usr/local/portage/layman/gentopia""... ... * Failed to add overlay "gentopia". * Error was: Did not find a PORTDIR_OVERLAY entry in file /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf! Did you specify the correct file? $ ls -l /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 2 15:35 /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf It created the file when I emerged the new layman but created it empty without PORTDIR_OVERLAY=""
Yup, adding an empty make.conf file was a dumb idea. Thanks for the note. Fixed in CVS.
