Bug 211093 – >=app-portage/eix-0.10.4: update-eix-layman doesn't add additional layman overlays

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roberto Castagnola 2008-02-22 10:57:55 UTC]

I run "update-eix-layman -C -A /mnt/gentoo/local/layman/make.conf add" to add layman overlays (not sourced in /etc/make.conf) to eix database, but it doesn't work with new versions.

Proposed patch:

Thanks for the report and the fix which is now in svn trunk (>=eix-0.10.6).

This was a stupid mistake which happened in the transition to non-bash scripts.

new versions of eix are in the tree :-)
