Hi. In my overlay, I can have packages assigned to a private category, and have that category specified in profiles/categories, under the overlay itself. However, in-order to ebuild such a package I have to append the category to /etc/portage/categories, else I get an error message:
!!! 'priv-cat/mypkg' has a category that is not listed in /etc/portage/categories Is that intended? Amit
