[gentoo-dev] couldn't open cache entry?

[Per Wigren]

It was a while ago since I did any gentoo development (ebuilds that is;) now..
I was about to create another load of useful ebuilds, but it seems that the 
syntax for ebuild has changed the last months?
I get this on all ebuilds:

oggy pwcx # ebuild pwcx-8.2.2.ebuild compile
!!! doebuild: /usr/portage/media-video/pwcx/pwcx-8.2.2.ebuild not found.
portage: aux_get(): (1) couldn't open cache entry for media-video/pwcx-8.2.2
(likely caused by syntax error or corruption in the media-video/pwcx-8.2.2 
ebuild.)
portage: doebuild(): aux_get() error; aborting.


My personal ebuilds are in /usr/portage/_wigren/ instead of inside the real 
tree, just so I don't mix them up...

You may want to look into PORTDIR_OVERLAY.

Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/portage.local/ in /etc/make.conf and place all your 
own ebuilds under that tree. This way they're not deleted when you emerge 
--clean rsync. Also, you can use the existing category names.. eg. 
/usr/portage.local/x11-wm/NEWWM/NEWWM-1.0.ebuild
