Description kilian 2005-11-21 03:06:39 UTC 
If OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD is set to "cdb" or "flat", update-eix does not index 
anything contained in the overlays. It correctly indexes the main portage 
repository.  
When set to "none", or not set, overlay indexing occurs correctly. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # cat /etc/eixrc 
PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="cdb" 
OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD="none" 
2. # update-eix 
Reading Portage settings .. 
Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch .. 
[0] /usr/portage/ (cache: cdb) 
     Reading 100% 
[1] /usr/local/overlays/portage (cache: none) 
     Reading 100% 
Applying masks .. 
Database contains 10312 packages in 144 categories.

Comment 1 Emil Beinroth 2005-11-21 04:06:38 UTC 
Portage doesn't cache your overlays if you run emerge --sync/--metadata .. so
you can't use any cache-method other than "none".
Comment 2 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-21 04:10:26 UTC 
User error. From man eix:
       PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD, OVERLAY_CACHE_METHOD  (Strings)
              Set the type of the cache used by portage. If you don't know what
this is, just leave it alone.
Comment 3 kilian 2005-11-22 02:14:53 UTC 
I had this same config (portage cache = cdb) for ages, so I assume it's a 
portage regression...

reopen for reassigning
