1 Hi.
2 In my overlay, I can have packages assigned to a private category, and
3 have that category specified in profiles/categories, under the overlay
4 itself.
5 However, in-order to ebuild such a package I have to append the category
6 to /etc/portage/categories, else I get an error message:
7
8 !!! 'priv-cat/mypkg' has a category that is not listed in
9 /etc/portage/categories
10
11 Is that intended?
