[gentoo-user] PORTDIR_OVERLAY being ignored (was working fine)

[gentoo-user] PORTDIR_OVERLAY being ignored (was working fine)

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi all,

I'm using ~x86, and I just noticed that the PORTDIR_OVERLAY
(/usr/local/portage) is being ignored.  I have a few ebuilds in there,
and I know they are laid out right because I have most of them installed
with previous version of portage.

However, with a version of portage around 
sys-apps/portage-2.1.1_pre2-r1 or
sys-apps/portage-2.1.1_pre2-r2 it stopped working!  I used to get a [1]
reference to the overlay, now I get nothing, as if the directory isn't
there.

Can anyone confirm this?  Do you have a workaraound? I can't find
anything on bugzilla or google (yet :), but surely I'm not the first to
notice it?

any comments appreciated. thanks,

on closer inspection, it's not being ignored, but I'm just not getting
the [1] /usr/local/portage message anymore...

Ahead warp factor one, Mr. Sulu.

It appears here, but only when using -v.
