Layman will still update all its overlays when you run layman -S, but |
| 17 |
portage will not see the contents. I've used this method often when I |
| 18 |
want a single package from an overlay. You may have to link more than one |
| 19 |
package to satisfy dependencies, but that is not usually the case in my |
| 20 |
experience. |
