Is anyone aware of an alternative for "layman -i repo_name"? I use that on occasion to find overlay maintainers when assigning bug reports. For repository owners, there's a simple way using xmllint (from the common libxml2 package): xmllint --xpath "//repo[name='mysql']/owner" ~/.cache/eselect-repo/repositories.xml Trade out the name as necessary. Needs a copy of repositories.xml locally which eselect-repository often caches. (Time is defined by REMOTE_LIST_REFRESH in /etc/eselect/repository.conf default of 2 hours.)

Users can either use g-sorcery in standalone mode, or unmask layman. We'll try to find a better solution before the end of layman's last-rites period (which has been extended to 90 days).

Is there documentation about the migration path ? My little search found old forum questions, with individual configuration changes, not general directions. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1136835-start-0.html https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/lxnktm/psa_stop_using_layman/ Thanks Mickaël Bucas
