I would like to see the licenses/ directories be "overlayed" too. When using repoman on an overlay, I always get "LICENSE.invalid" because my license is in my overlay licenses/ directory. (perhaps a problem with repoman though...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Reopening for consideration.
While it should be trivial to solve for repoman, the ACCEPT_LICENSE supoprt in trunk also has to care about that and is a bit more sensitive in the (unlikely) case of two licenses with the same name but different contents being present in both $PORTDIR and an overlay. Would have to establish how the processing rules are in such a case before enabling such a feature.
