Hello. Portage now warns about missing profiles/repo_name file. But could anybody explain what are the valid names there? Should we follow this: http://paludis.pioto.org/faq.html#repo_name ? Thanks in advance.

(In reply to comment #1) > This belong to PMS, IMO. In that case it's ALREADYFIXED because it's already there. But a short mention in man portage wouldn't hurt.
PMS should probably contain a pattern for names reserved for local use (e.g. 'local-*')
Do we have such a pattern? Paludis effectively treats *virtuals* as its own. Is anything else reserved?
With local I meant for use by the local user to avoid name collisions with external overlays. Not a strict rule maybe but a strong recommendation.
Hrm, I'd say that that's purely a policy thing rather than a package manager requirement, so it's not something we'd stick in PMS. Closing this as fixed, since repo_name is in PMS as per the original request.
