so I copied the old dir (cp -Rp) to:

I hope that's just a typo.  It should be "/usr/local/portage/layman".


and edited the /etc/make.conf to to this:
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf

You also need to edit /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf and change all paths to the new ones. For example "/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" should become "/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise".

Also, make sure to "rm -r /usr/portage/layman/".


I still get the original error message about repo_name

Hmm, you shouldn't.  Try to "layman -d" all overlays and then re-add them.

Also, try to rebuild the portage cache with "emerge --metadata" and see if that helps.

Ebuild failed with status 1

Hmm, permission problems?  Try:

  chmod a+r -R /usr/local/portage/
