On my local system, the overlay path was /root/catalyst/overlays/portage. This is the exact path (contents included) on the LiveCD. The PORTDIR_OVERLAY line is also in the LiveCD's /etc/make.conf. agaffney@gentoo.org 2006-09-01 20:48:09 0000 In modules/generic_stage_target.py, it looks like the portage_overlay directory is copied over with full path into the chroot. PORTDIR_OVERLAY is also added directly to make.conf. At no point in this file is the PORTDIR_OVERLAY line removed from make.conf or the copied overlay removed from the chroot. I recommend setting PORTDIR_OVERLAY in the env instead of in make.conf. Also, use a known temp dir for the overlay, so you can just remove the whole dir tree when done without fear of killing something important. rsync the overlay to /tmp/portage_overlay or some other known directory. Even if it's left around, it won't be so obvious. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2006-09-03 13:38:54 0000 Actually, I'm trying to move away from doing things in the environment only. Instead, we'll likely be copying the "hosts" idea and making a backup of make.conf, then making changes to make.conf, then restoring the backup when we're done. jakub@gentoo.org 2006-09-13 03:56:40 0000 *** Bug 147430 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2006-11-22 08:43:28 0000 OK. I lied. The "best" solution that I can come up with here is to create a new function to remove the overlay from make.conf and the directory. I still like the idea of putting it into a known location, though. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2007-01-09 14:53:07 0000 This should be fixed in subversion now... wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2007-02-06 22:53:50 0000 Fixed in 2.0.2
