* Bug #265747 - Add a new /etc/portage/repos.conf config file which can be usedZac Medico2009-04-111-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to configure site-specific eclass override behavior. Note that configuration settings which are specified here do not apply to tools such as repoman(1) and egencache(1) since their operations are inherently not site-specific. Beware that use of eclass-overrides is generally not recommended and that it may trigger performance issues under some circumstances (see bug #124041). Example: # make all repositories inherit eclasses from the java-overlay and # java-experimental repositories, with eclasses from java-experimental # taking precedence over those from java-overlay [DEFAULT] eclass-overrides = java-overlay java-experimental # disable all eclass overrides for the gentoo repository [gentoo] eclass-overrides = svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=13325

* Add portdbapi support for a metadata/layout.conf file whichZac Medico2009-04-061-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | specifies information about the repository layout. Currently, only a single "masters" attribute is supported, which is used to specify names of repositories which satisfy dependencies on eclasses and/or ebuilds. Each repository name should correspond the value of a repo_name entry from one of the repositories that is configured via the PORTDIR or PORTDIR_OVERLAY variables. Since layout.conf is now used to control eclass inheritance, it is now safer to use overlays which contain forked eclasses have names identical to those from the main tree. Such eclasses will only apply to their containing repository and any other repositories which reference their containing repository via layout.conf. This solves bug #124041 by containing eclass overrides so that they don't necessarily apply to all ebuilds. Thanks to Alistair Bush <ali_bush@g.o> for his initial patch for layout.conf support in repoman (will be merged later). See the "QA Overlay Layout support" thread on the gentoo-dev mailing list for more information: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_33c61550b4ed2b7b25dd5a4110e1ec81.xml svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=13291

* * Make portdbapi.aux_get() automatically pull pre-generated metadataZac Medico2008-04-211-12/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | directly from the metadata/cache/ directory when metadata-transfer is not enabled in FEATURES. This makes all cache modules behave similar to existing metadata_overlay module, except when FEATURES="metadata-transfer" has been explicitly enabled. * Remove metadata-transfer from FEATURES in make.globals so that it's no longer enabled by default. Users will be happy about this since the "Updating Portage cache" part of emerge --sync can be more time consuming than the rsync run itself. It's also nicer when when using PORTDIR over nfs or bind mounted in a chroot since there's no need to run emerge --metadata. * Update FEATURES="metadata-transfer" docs to warn users of the rsync tree to modify eclases in PORTDIR_OVERLAY if necessary instead of doing it directly in the rsync tree. * Relevant updates to /etc/portage/modules docs. svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=9930
