As that path -was violating the concept of keeping portage away from -/usr/local the default of this storage location moves to - - /var/lib/layman - -from version 1.3.0 on. If you have never touched the file -/etc/layman/layman.cfg manually before, you may be tempted to let -tools like etc-update or dispatch-conf blindly accept this new version -of layman.cfg. - -As that would hide all your currently installed overlays from layman -it's probably not what you want. Your options are: - - A) Moving - 1. Move your current content to /var/lib/layman. - 2. Update PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /var/lib/layman/make.conf accordingly. - 3. Make /etc/make.conf source /var/lib/layman/make.conf. - 4. Set option "storage" in /etc/layman/layman.cfg - to "/var/lib/layman". - - B) A symlink - Put a symlink to your current storage location at /var/lib/layman - before upgrading layman. - - C) Configuration - Reject the path change for layman.cfg when running tools like - etc-update or dispatch-conf. Be aware with this way you'll have - to do it for each layman update again. - -PS: This news item is a reaction to users having run into this problem -(see bug #306233).
