Congratulations, you reinvented the "eix-sync" command. :) |

You can put a list of layman overlays to be synced in |
| 14 |
/etc/eix-sync.conf or a line simply containing an asterisk (*) to sync |
| 15 |
'em all. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
You can also put arbitrary post-sync commands in there, like if you |
| 18 |
have an overlay that needs an egencache update or if you have some |
| 19 |
local patches that you always apply to an ebuild from an overlay. (I |
| 20 |
think most of that sort of thing is not necessary anymore because of |
| 21 |
other, better ways of handling that.) |
