Hi, |
23 |
|
24 |
currently |
25 |
|
26 |
$EPREFIX/usr/portage/profiles/repo_name |

|
28 |
says |

|
30 |
gentoo_prefix |
31 |
|
32 |
|
33 |
For any overlay one can define in |
34 |
|
35 |
$OVERLAY/metadata/layout.conf |
36 |
|
37 |
masters = gentoo |
38 |
|
39 |
which would break usage of the overlay in combination with the prefix |
40 |
overlay because the master must be "gentoo". Setting alias = gentoo |
41 |
(which the prefix tree should be more then less) would allow such use |
42 |
case as it would alias the prefix-tree to act as getnoo-tree. |
43 |
|
44 |
As far as I know there will be change for the ordinary usability of the |
45 |
prefix tree. also for the dev setups I don't see a problem, because the |
46 |
change allows the lower overlays to find its master, which shouldn't |
47 |
effect the rsync-tree/prefix-overlay combination as such. |
