[gentoo-dev] Testing ebuilds

[Doug Lawlor]

Hello list, I am in the process of writing an ebuild for brltty, a 
program which allows a refreshable braille display to be used in the 
text console, and am getting the following error.  

drl brltty # ebuild brltty-3.3.ebuild fetch
!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'portage/brltty-3.3' does not exist at:
!!!            /usr/portage/portage/brltty/brltty-3.3.ebuild
doebuild(): aux_get() error; aborting.
drl brltty #

I have my ebuild placed in /usr/local/portage/brltty/brltty-3.3.ebuild 
but portage seems to want to look in /usr/portage/portage for the 
ebuild.  I have my 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY' set to /usr/local/portage for local 
ebuilds I am testing.  

Has anyone ever seen this error before?  Emerges from the main portage 
tree work fine.  

Thanks in advance,  

Doug

It needs to be in a proper category. i.e.

  /usr/local/portage/app-text/brltty/brltty-3.3.ebuild

(app-text is just an example, look through the
/usr/portage/profiles/categories file to find an appropriate location).

You're missing a category.
