I'm currently dual-booting a machine that I'd like to shift completely
to gentoo, but I left an ubuntu installaiton in the other disk (where
I hope to transfer my gentoo). However, my brother has been
downloading some torrents for weeks on end, and their sessions have
been left alive in the gnome-btdownload interface. It gets annoying
when he boots up to ubuntu sometimes because I often remotely login to
my machine and all.
So I thought to install gnome-btdownload. Unfortunately I couldnt
find it in portage a few weeks ago, and I just forgot about it. Today
I logged in remotely to my machine, remembered my old problem, and
decided to hunt for an ebuild. I noticed that it's in the ecatmur
tree, so I thought just to add it on layman and get it done with.
TOTALLY WEIRD. I do a layman -L on my machine and strangely enough,
ecatmur isn't listed. I think I've used it beore on layman though, so
I look up the overlays listing on the gentoo overlays list, here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt
Sure enough, ecatmur is present. So I just blindly go layman -a
ecatmur and he gets added.
I don't understand why layman wouldn't report ecatmur in his listing
but accepts ecatmur there anyway when I add? Is this a bug?

weird?
I remember somewhere that there was something you had to edit to make
the overlays appear in the listing, (the stock layman would only show
a few entries I think). Maybe this is an extension of that idea but I
couldn't find what to edit in the documentation. Any ideas?

Try layman -Lk
-k, --nocheck Do not check overlay definitions and do not issue a
warning if description or contact information are
missing.
