Maybe another option could be to have a /usr/portage/overlays directory used for "unofficial" overlays, then, layman configuration stuff (like its make.conf and so) could be present under /etc/layman, while overlays (sunrise, gnome...) could be installed under /usr/portage/overlays --=-+Qa8lOVCGPHUTHTNEyd8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAktRqikACgkQCaWpQKGI+9QSLACeIxDUCCAZtFm4YITgDeSJAe7s gG0An3KX0jiPZnzK/FgIIRatIyBXp98P =P7QL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+Qa8lOVCGPHUTHTNEyd8--
