To change the location where layman stores overlays, you need to edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and change the "storage" option. Layman doesn't look at make.conf at all. Editing make.conf shouldn't cause layman to delete anything. However, do note that overlays added with layman won't show up in emerge unless you add the "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" to make.conf (as instructed when you install layman; change path to match "storage" in laymans config file) and this is placed after any instances of PORTDIR_OVERLAY in make.conf If this does not solve your problem, please provide steps to reproduce, including the exact commands you are running, the expected result and the actual result. You're absolutely right. Portage was searching layman fine until I did a sync and then everything stopped working. I did as you suggested and it's working fine now. I thought it was a bug due to working well before the sync. Best regards |
