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

Thanks for testing. This is fixed in 2.1.10.12 and 2.2.0_alpha52.
