profiles/repo_name is required for unique repository names for GLEP 42 [1]. As it isn't that clear in the GLEP itself the proper explanation would probably be found somewhere in the archives of the gentoo-dev mailing list... ;) > How could I disable it ? The warning is now disabled in trunk and will thus be disabled in the next release (probably 2.1.3_rc8). So by downgrading, upgrading or adding profiles/repo_name (which should contain a string that identifies the repository (overlay) uniquely and isn't "gentoo", the name of the main tree..).
