Re: [gentoo-user] PORTDIR_OVERLAY getting ignored.

Just I few days ago I added a patched ebuild for x11- drivers/ati-drivers to satisfy some dependencies for the multilib update (it doesn't build with the latest vanilla sources and prior to that I had just been patching and building the module on /var/tmp/portage). It worked and got me through the update and I ran a world update after that without problems. But today when I try to run a world update it wants to pull the package from the main tree which fails to compile. I haven't changed anything and emerge -- info shows my overlay in PORTDIR_OVERLAY. Any ideas? Ah, nevermind. I deleted the ebuild from the main tree and portage told me what was wrong. app-admin/eselect-* was renamed to app-eselect/eselect-* -- Fernando Rodriguez

Does the option priority, set per-repo, and documented here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/Sync fit your needs? If the overlays are managed by layman, check out the --enable and --disable options for layman. Thanks Neil, that seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Currently I still have a problem. After layman -D ALL which proceeded without any error message. I tried, e.g., layman -E science which gives me Exception caught enabling repository science: Section 'science' already exists Helmut.
