I don't have a local overlay, and the default path for layman overlays is /var/lib/layman/<overlay>, so I guess I don't have to set the LOCAL_LAYMAN variable, do I? The problem is that after updating (by running the command eix-remote update). I still don't get the results expected when doing a search, eg: # eix -l games-engines/spring No matches found. whereas it should list that there is a match in the sabayon (layman) overlay (though not installed) like: spring-88.0 ~amd64 ~x86 because, at least, the above is what I get by using the http://gpo.zugaina.org/ search at http://gpo.zugaina.org/games-engines/spring So, I guess, I must be missing something in my eix configuration, don't I? Besides, under /etc I only have /etc/eixrc/00-eixrc which is the default (all lines in it are comments).
