[gentoo-dev] splitting free and non-free repos

[David Spreen]

Hey there,
I wondered if there are plans to give emerge the possibility of
using more than one repository at the same time. This would be
very helpfull for users who want to provide their ebuilds but don't
want to add them to the distro (for any reason), or for users who want 
to provide ebuilds which were denied by the distro for any reason.

When that would be implemented it would be possible to split free and 
non-free-software repositories.

so long...

David

As of now you can specify a local repository to use for local ebuilds.
To do so you need to define PORTDIR_OVERLAY= in your make config.
Define it to be the directory to hold the local rep.  Mine is:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

also make sure it's layed out like the normal repository with the
categorized directories.  It will not be replaced when doing an rsync.
