Description Enno Keßler 2012-09-03 20:25:16 UTC

When installing a new crossdev target with specified overlay, crossdev does not put all configuration files in the overlay accordingly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No crossdev target installed, empty folder /usr/local/cross-overlay
2. crossdev -oS /usr/local/cross-overlay -S amrv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi


Actual Results:  
crossdev creates the following files in /etc/porrtage
/etc/portage/categories
/etc/portage/package.env/cross-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi
/etc/portage/package.keywords/cross-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi
/etc/portage/package.use/cross-armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi

Expected Results:  
crossdev could have put those files in the according subfolders of /usr/local/cross-overlay .

overlays are not the same thing as PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT.  use the latter.
