That is for the overlays, yeah? |
| 24 |
But hov about the cache_*.xml files? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I think what he meant was that should layman really only has one |
| 27 |
directory? One for cache (downloaded/downloadable lists of overlays? |
| 28 |
in /var/cache/layman/?), one for the make.conf and overlay.xml |
| 29 |
(/etc/layman/?) and maybe one more directory for the overlays |
| 30 |
(/var/lib/layman/?). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That make.conf/overlay.xml may not go as cache, nor do the overlays |
| 33 |
themselves, but as I said, should really it all be in the same |
| 34 |
directory? |
