It's in the "gentoo" CVS repository under the overlays project, i.e.: |
| 16 |
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/overlays/ |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It is then exported to: |
| 19 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I think the filename ending in txt might have something to do with the |
| 22 |
web server processing xml files as guidexml, but renaming it to be |
| 23 |
something like "overlays.xml" would be preferable IMO. We'd also need |
| 24 |
to create a proper DTD for it (I was looking for that earlier today, |
| 25 |
without success). |
