eix actually has a sync wrapper that can handle this for you automagically [1]. `eix-sync` will run: layman -S # sync all layman overlays (see note) emerge --sync # sync portage and all portage-managed overlays eix-update # update the eix cache eix-diff # show diff between last and current eix cache (though the eix-diff can be --quiet'd). If using eix as your normal search utility, I would suggest using `eix-sync` as your normal sync method. With regard to eix-sync updating layman overlays, you need to: echo "*" > /etc/eix-sync.conf to enable it.
