OK Tom, I'll try that tonight. Thanks to everyone who offered |
| 16 |
solutions, and especially to TomWij and Samuli for their extra effort. |

For my future reference, could someone point me to the documentation |
| 19 |
that provides for the situation where an application installed under |
| 20 |
layman is migrated to the portage tree? I understand now the procedure |
| 21 |
seems simple, but without that information, I wouldn't ordinarily just |
| 22 |
presume such a simple fix (kudos to the portage devs/maintainers)(I |
| 23 |
certainly would have done it long ago when Tom first populated the tree). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have checked the following sources and find nothing but how to install |
| 26 |
and work with overlays, but only the command above for removing one - |
| 27 |
nothing on migration: Gentoo Overlays User's Guide, the Gentoo wikis on |
| 28 |
overlays and layman, the layman, portage, and emerge manpages, and the |
| 29 |
Gentoo Handbook. |

Thanks again for all the help. |
