If auto-repo-scanning is added, I'd suggest also adding a make.conf |
| 14 |
OVERLAY_DISABLE value, so it's possible to temporarily disable an overlay |
| 15 |
without removing it (as it is now by simply removing that path from the |
| 16 |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY var, or commenting/moving that line out of the var- |
| 17 |
assignment quotes). |
