Description Malte Starostik 2011-02-04 00:08:39 UTC

This makes egencache accept an absolute path to an overlay as an
alternative to a repository name.  This facilitates operating on
overlays not listed in PORTDIR_OVERLAY without messing with
/etc/make.conf or --config-root


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work on an overlay that's not in PORTDIR_OVERLAY
2. Try to run egencache right there
Actual Results:  
You need to setup portage to use that repository

Expected Results:  
egencache should allow for this

I've added a --portdir-overlay option that will allow you to get similar results:
