since I assume you can't reliably use the checked out version of the |
| 19 |
overlay (by e.g. layman), can you try to retrieve the repo_name file |
| 20 |
from the overlay? Probably a lot of efforts. So alternative, what if |
| 21 |
we extend the layman-global.txt (which is xml in reality...) file with |
| 22 |
an extra property per overlay which holds the contents of it's |
| 23 |
repo_name? Would be optimal, since you're fetching this file anyway to |
| 24 |
check it. Alternative is to use another file somewhere on the interweb |
| 25 |
that you keep up to date automatically, by having all overlays checked |
| 26 |
out and recording their repo_name ... |
