Hello,
So I nuked the /var/lib/layman/make.conf file. I have a list of sites (repos) I want to keep. Noodling around I figured out that I cannot use laymen to add git repos..... bummer. So is there a tool/interface where I type something like 'layman -a java' and it writes out the file to /etc/portage/repos.conf/<new.conf> Layman -S pucked. So after following all the guides I must have missed something. Take java: * Warnings: * ------ * The source of the overlay "java" seems to have changed. * You currently sync from * * git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java.git * * while the remote lists report * * 1. git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/java.git * 2. git+ssh://[email protected]/proj/java.git * 3. https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/proj/java.git * * as correct locations. * Please consider removing and re-adding the overlay. I tried this (layman -d java; layman -a java) but it just does the ond /var/lib/layman/ entry. No tool to select a git repo and make the new.conf file in /etc/portage/resos.conf/ dir? I'd prefer a default file created that I just then edit, or one big repo.conf file for overlays (formerly overlays not gits) for all the repos I want to add. Maybe a few examples of /etc/portage/repos.conf to look at? Note the gentoo and local is fine. I keep /usr/local/portage for my stuff alone, so I guess I can just use the old layman dir stucture (/var/lib/layman) for my collection of exteranal repos? maybe something like: /var/lib/repos/devs/ultrabug/ and /var/lib/repos/sot/unknown-hacker/ I really like to keep the gentoo dev repos separate for the at large gentoo repos now using git. I probably should not use this old /var/lib/layman/ sturcture for the new git repos......? Will those layman svn sites be going away? or just the ones run by gentoo-devs? Suggests on a sane schema for all of this is most welcome. (how are other organizing/labeling ad wide collect of repos, gentoo dev repos and their own (code)fiefdom? naming and location strategies are most welcome. Lacking organization on repos, James
