If the overlay provides a version that is not in portage, like a cat/pkg- for a CVS/SVN ebuild, then a version-specific entry in package.use will only affect the overlay version. However, /etc/portage/package.use is the correct place to set package-specific USE variables fro all packages, no matter whether they come from an overlay or the portage tree. -- Neil Bothwick HTTP: Helps Transfer The Porn signature.asc Description: PGP signature

That appears to be correct, as there is no mention of overlay-specific USE settings anywhere in the layman docs. So, it seems that one still has only the same two options that portage offers: - global, in make.conf - per package/version in package.use and the presence of layman does not change this rule in any way. Actually this makes sense - all layman does for portage is provide a whole new bunch of ebuilds to select from. Portage is not aware of layman and so can't change the way it deals with USE flags because of layman -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

There is no way to set use flags separately for packages in overlays. If you have a package foo which uses use flag bar and you want to have that use flag turned on, just put this line in /etc/portage/package.use. foo bar That will turn on the bar use flag for package foo, regardless of whether foo is from the main tree or an overlay. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgwNqgACgkQblQW9DDEZThN8wCfbUn2iBi9tpxVy68si4LB9xPT PwwAmwW6OaR/MmSkC7ytWYmp5q8iMx/j =M5JR -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

So your answer doesn't appear to make sense... but maybe I'm missing something here. Hi, the subject is "How to set package.use for layman overlays". USE-Flags are set by package.use. How I mentioned before that is not handled by /usr/portage/layman where the make.conf is, but by /etc/portage/package.use. Sorry for that mistake. So I think you wont be able to set USE-Flags specially for layman packages. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I think that you should use package.use. Yes. According to Strollers post this is done by an package.use file in /usr/portage/layman I think. Yes, package.use, but not anywhere special - just the regular one in / etc/portage/, /etc/portage/package.use. This sets use flags for all packages, both in the main tree AND in layman.
