[gentoo-catalyst] Use custom overlays in Catalyst

[anonymous0]

Hi. I want to build own iso image with Catalyst. How I can add ebuilds from overlays to list of packages which will be installed?

Add the path of your portage overlay to your catalyst-spec (in the portage_overlay keyword), then add packages from that overlay to your stage4/packages keyword.  It should just work.

I have a side question on the topic.
Is it possible to add more the one overlay to the build?
Some time ago I tried that using:

portage_overlay: /var/lib/layman/myoverlay1 /var/lib/layman/myoverlay2

in the spec, but it didn't work for me (I used catalyst v2.0.18).

Thanks.

This worked well for me using v2.0.12.2 but maybe it has changed.

When I do this I note that catalyst simply copies all overlays into
one directory, with the side effect that only metadata/layout.conf
for the very last repo is known/seen by emerge run by catalyst.

It worked like you described for me as well. The overlays I use are 
layered ones.
/var/lib/layman/myoverlay2/metadata/layout.conf contains'master = gentoo 
myoverlay1'.
I guess that can be a problem in the iso or stageN building.

Thank you, for one overlay it works fine.
