Bugzilla Bug 224659

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

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.
