profiles/repo_name is required for unique repository names for GLEP 42 [1]. As |
| 12 |
it isn't that clear in the GLEP itself the proper explanation would probably |
| 13 |
be found somewhere in the archives of the gentoo-dev mailing list... ;) |

The warning is now disabled in trunk and will thus be disabled in the next |
| 18 |
release (probably 2.1.3_rc8). So by downgrading, upgrading or adding |
| 19 |
profiles/repo_name (which should contain a string that identifies the |
| 20 |
repository (overlay) uniquely and isn't "gentoo", the name of the main |
| 21 |
tree..). |
