Description 7v5w7go9ub0o 2010-03-02 17:17:43 UTC 
layman is about to change its default location, and has posted a notice in eselect news (which is greatly appreciated).

Suggest a small addition to the alternative A  "moving" item.

(news presently says:

 A) Moving
   1. Move your current content to /var/lib/layman before upgrading.
   3. Update PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /var/lib/layman/make.conf accordingly.
   2. Make /etc/make.conf source /var/lib/layman/make.conf.

 additional item 4:
   4. Update the /etc/layman/layman.cfg "storage" parameter to reflect
the new location. 

Reproducible: Always




If someone faithfully performs "moving" steps 1-3 before upgrading to layman 1.3 (presently masked) the process won't work, as layman looks for its directory in the old /usr/local/portage/ location.
