Nice... |

I do use eix-sync for a good while now... but had not synced since |
| 28 |
installing layman... and found the out of date directions posted |
| 29 |
earlier. ... I didn't realize eix-sync would synchronize overlays |
| 30 |
too... I've never had an overlay before. ... I'm setting up `sunshine' |
| 31 |
now ....thanks. |
