Hi, |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
currently |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
$EPREFIX/usr/portage/profiles/repo_name |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
says |
| 29 |
|
| 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. |
