The script already checks all configured overlays as well as the main tree if you invoke it with no parameters. However, I just added metadata.xml parsing last night and it lacks error handling in the event the file is not present. So, you'll have to add this, wait until I get a chance to add it, or use the older version of the script if you want to process most overlays. If you want to only process the overlay I suspect you could modify the source to point to it (likely by changing the porttree initialization). Pointing PORTDIR in your environment to some copy of portage minus the packages would likely work as well (I suspect it may still need access to eclasses/etc). Rich
