Hello.

Today, I decided to switch from make.conf to repos.conf for layman.
All went fine and all is working well for the little I did, except from a minor inconsistency I noticed, regarding theese config options I have in /etc/layman/layman.cfg:

storage   : /mnt/port_dir/overlay
cache     : %(storage)s/cache
installed: %(storage)s/installed.xml

Installed version of layman is 2.3.0-r1, cache and installed options are the default ones. Problem is that both of them are ignored and generated cache* and installed.xml files are created in %(storage) (without an s). I suppose this is the expected behaviour when using repos.conf (as it fits the "location" found in repos.conf files), but then I think there should be a hint in documentation (man page and wiki) about this or maybe in layman.cfg file (for example a new comment line telling "# does not apply when using repos.conf!" close to each option).

Thanks for your attention.
