 Posted: Fri May 27, 2016 3:52 am Post subject: repos.conf and Overlays? |
 |
|
I used to use layman for overlays and I still do on my 2 older gentoo installs, but I set up a new install on my "new" computer and I thought I would attempt to follow the new way of installing the one overlay I use for it...
I thought I followed the https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf instructions, but I'm confused if I still need layman or if portage now integrates the sync for overlays...
| Code: | cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/jorgicio-overlay.conf
[jorgicio-overlay]
location = /usr/local/overlay/jorgicio-overlay
sync-type = git
sync-url = git://github.com/jorgicio/jorgicio-gentoo.git
auto-sync = yes
|
This doesn't sync with the overlay... Do I still need layman to sync? Do I have a problem with my setup?
I find the wiki confusing and haven't been able to find a forum post on the problem either.
Thanks!

You definitely do not need layman.

Did you mean »sync-uri =« instead, or did you forget to run # emaint sync -A or eix-sync?
Please check your overlays: | Code: | | portageq envvar PORTAGE_REPOSITORIES |
For the "different from repository name" message see profiles/repo_name as explained in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf#Format. |

Thanks!  That helped immensely. I also realized that I didn't have git installed. I'm still fairly confused on this new system, but at least it's syncing for me. I'd really appreciate a better "migration" wiki than is there. |

| You don't need the auto-sync line either, Yes is the default. |

Incorrect, it is only the default for the Gentoo repo. And that was so users didn't suddenly find they couldn't sync when they upgraded portage to a release with the new sync system and didn't update their config. And of course the resistance to change, since that was the historical behavior.
