Description Alexey 2006-10-15 06:16:53 UTC
layman thinks that portage is always located in /usr/portage
which is wrong!

instead layman should look into make.conf for that.

please fix it.

This could be useful for PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS too.

As far as I can tell the only place where layman uses the path "/usr/portage" is within the configuration file /etc/layman/layman.cfg. This can be changed :) I don't see where layman would use the path besides for the setting of the "storage" directory.

@n_ox: I will mark this bug invalid because I believe the original report is nothing that needs fixing. If you feel layman should do something with the "PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS" setting, please open a new bug for that. At the moment there are no plans for layman to parse the /etc/make.conf file.
