If you have layman installed, you can set repo sync-type to laymansync, |
| 9 |
and layman, in turn, has configuration options that allow you to set |
| 10 |
additional options for git as well as the other repo-type fetch commands |
| 11 |
(bzr, svn, etc). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Tho AFAIK, that's global, so any git-type repo that is set to laymansync |
| 14 |
in repos.conf, will use layman's additional options settings. You could, |
| 15 |
however, set only the desired repos to laymansync type, while setting the |
| 16 |
others to git sync type, so portage will fetch the one set using normal |
| 17 |
options with layman fetching the others using its customized options. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Unfortunately, the laymansync sync-type doesn't seem to be well |
| 20 |
documented, either in the layman manpage or in the portage manpage (which |
| 21 |
covers repos.conf). You have to have come across it via google or one of |
| 22 |
the layman discussions on the wiki or mailing lists, etc, which is why I |
| 23 |
knew about it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But do be aware, laymansync only works with layman installed. If it's |
| 26 |
not installed and sync-type is set to laymansync, attempts to sync will |
| 27 |
error out with unknown sync-type errors. |
