You need to run eix-remote -q update to have layman overlays added to

I think he wants to know what overlay a given ebuild is in without
installing the overlay first
eix wwon't show the contents of not-installed overlays
As it's panto season now - Oh Yes It Will!
eix-update reads installed overlays but eix-remote downloads a list of
the contents of all layman overlays, giving exactly what Mark wants.
I hadn't even heard of the trauma overlay, let alone installed it, yet
eix found the ebuild for me.
well well whaddaya know
it works !
Humm...so if I would have simply done exactly what Neil suggested I
would have seen it without actually installing the overlay? Cool.

Is this documented anywhere? I would like to see how this works,
