Bug 402099 – portage should honor /etc/portage/repos.conf for overlay priority

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description quazgar 2012-02-03 20:58:05 UTC]

portage-2.2.0-alpha84 does not use the priorities given in /etc/portage/repos.conf for overlays. The attached patch should fix this.

Reproducible: Always

This happens around line 300 in /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/repository/config.py (or whereever the file lives), where only a few other properties are taken from repos.conf.

The attached patch looks for a 'priority' option and, if this is successful, uses this value instead of the default priority.

This is fixed in 2.1.10.45 and 2.2.0_alpha85.
