Hi Gunnar, Could you update layman to support whether an overlay is 'official' or not? a) Add a way of marking an overlay as 'official' in the config file b) Include whether an overlay is 'official' or not in layman's output c) Add a way to list only 'official' overlays using layman -L Ideally, I'd prefer that layman -L only listed official overlays, but I can understand if that doesn't get implemented ;-) Best regards, Stu
(In reply to comment #0) > a) Add a way of marking an overlay as 'official' in the config file Assuming you want this be done based on if it is hosted on gentoo you will see that you already have the URL in the layman configuration file. It is easy to look at it and find out if it is on overlays.gentoo.org or not. > b) Include whether an overlay is 'official' or not in layman's output The cool thing is that layman also prints out the URL, so you can easily distingiush > c) Add a way to list only 'official' overlays using layman -L The definition of "official" is hard. Is the flameeyes overlay on farragut official? The steev overlay on google? The sunrise overlay on gentoo-sunrise.org As soon as you start defining officialness you will annoy some people. In my opinion it should be left to the user to decide wether he considers an overlay as official or not. Since the beginning of having this global overlays list I am impressed of how open it is and lets user overlays happily coexist between developer ones. I am disturbed to see this attack on the openness coming from you.
Support added in 1.0.7
