8 I agree that 'portage_overlay' should be renamed. It seems 'repos' is
9 already taken (for the portage snapshot feature). We could rename
10 'repos' -> 'repos_storedir' and then 'portage_overlay' -> 'repos', but
11 I would prefer to keep this step separate from the PORTDIR_OVERLAY
12 removal.
13
14 My plan for the next steps would be:
15
16 * Remove PORTDIR as well
17 * Remove copying of overlays in favor of mounting
18 * Somehow merge 'snapshot_treeish' and 'portage_overlay' into a single
19 option (called e.g. 'repos'), which takes a list of repo snapshots. So
20 there would no longer be a special main repo.
