8 You should take a look at
9 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/Sync#layman-updater_Method.
10
11 TLDR: Install (as in "accept keyword") a newer version of Layman (at
12 least 2.2.16), add the "sync-plugin-portage" USE-Flag, and maybe double
13 check your /etc/layman/layman.cfg so it uses repos.conf.
14
15 What layman then does, is creating a dedicated
16 /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf, in which it automatically adds and
17 removes overlays you add/remove via the usual layman commands. So in
18 fact quite similar as the behavior with layman's make.conf, just with
19 the new repos.conf.

21 HTH and best wishes,
