+News-Item-Format: 1.0 |
| 23 |
+Display-If-Installed: <app-portage/layman-1.3 |
| 24 |
+ |
| 25 |
+Layman has been using /usr/local/portage/layman to store |
| 26 |
+overlay checkouts from version 1.2.3 on. As that path |
| 27 |
+was violating the concept of keeping portage away from |
| 28 |
+/usr/local the default of this storage location moves to |
| 29 |
+ |
| 30 |
+ /var/lib/layman |
| 31 |
+ |
| 32 |
+from version 1.3.0 on. If you have never touched the file |
| 33 |
+/etc/layman/layman.cfg manually before, you may be tempted to let |
| 34 |
+tools like etc-update or dispatch-conf blindly accept this new version |
| 35 |
+of layman.cfg. |
| 36 |
+ |
| 37 |
+As that would hide all your currently installed overlays from layman |
| 38 |
+it's probably not what you want. Your options are: |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+ A) Moving |
| 41 |
+ 1. Move your current content to /var/lib/layman before upgrading. |
| 42 |
+ 3. Update PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /var/lib/layman/make.conf accordingly. |
| 43 |
+ 2. Make /etc/make.conf source /var/lib/layman/make.conf. |
| 44 |
+ |
| 45 |
+ B) A symlink |
| 46 |
+ Put a symlink to your current storage location at /var/lib/layman |
| 47 |
+ before upgrading layman. |
| 48 |
+ |
| 49 |
+ C) Configuration |
| 50 |
+ Reject the path change for layman.cfg when running tools like |
| 51 |
+ etc-update or dispatch-conf blindly. Be aware with this way you'll |
| 52 |
+ have to do it for each layman update again. |
| 53 |

| 54 |
+PS: This news item is a reaction to users having run into this problem |
| 55 |
+(see bug #306233). Thanks to Volker Hemmann for reporting. |
