Description William Throwe 2013-11-10 00:46:31 UTC
$ nl -ba /etc/portage/make.conf | grep layman
    38  layman_dir="/var/lib/layman"
    39  source "${layman_dir}/make.conf"
    40  #source /var/lib/layman/make.conf
$ emerge -pq --nodeps bash
"/etc/portage/make.conf", line 40: ${layman_dir}/make.conf: No such file or directory

If I comment out line 39 and uncomment line 40 it works.  (Not sure why the reported error line number is wrong.)

It would be useful if this were supported (my actual use case is for prefix where a lot of paths start with the same prefix).  If it isn't it would be nice if this were mentioned in the man page.
