Bug 185142 – app-portage/layman-1.0.99 does not handle -p option correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description René 'Necoro' Neumann 2007-07-13 00:50:05 UTC]

If I add an overlay with the -p option, it is not handled correctly in most cases.
A layman -lv always shows a priority of "50". And the priority only affects the order of the overlays if it is lower than 50.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.layman -p75 -a $NICE_OVERLAY
2.layman -a $OTHER_OVERLAY
3.layman -a -p25 $OVERLAY_NO_3
4.layman -lv; cat /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
Actual Results:  
- $NICE_OVERLAY is said to have priority 50
- $OVERLAY_NO_3 is said to have priority 50
- $NICE_OVERLAY is before $OTHER_OVERLAY in /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
- $OVERLAY_NO_3 is before the other two (this is actually wanted, but stated here to show that only p<50 is working)

Expected Results:  
- $NICE_OVERLAY should have priority 75
- $OVERLAY_NO_3 should have priority 25
- $NICE_OVERLAY should be _after_ $OTHER_OVERLAY

forgot to mention:
I used layman-1.0.99 (do not know if other versions are affected too)

*bump* - is there any progress here?

Thanks for the note. layman-1.1 is in the tree and this should be fixed.
