Hi people,

I have been trying to add an ebuild to my /usr/local/portage tree, but am 
having problems.

I dropped the ebuild into /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/foo-1.2.3-r4.ebuild and 
have also set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage in /etc/make.conf.

I have chown'd portage:portage everything under /usr/local/portage, including 
the ebuild.

The ebuild in question is keyworded as "~amd64 ~x86", so I tried an:

$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --search foo

and it gave me nothing.

On the advice of someone on IRC, I tried:

$ ebuild foo-1.2.3-r4.ebuild digest

from the /usr/local/portage/kde-misc directory, and I get the following:

Appending /usr/local to PORTDIR_OVERLAY...
!!! /usr/local does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure.

which seems quite odd to me. Why would it think that /usr/local should be my 
overlay tree?

Can anyone suggest anywhere I'm going wrong?

Thanks,

Pete :-)

Ah... solved it. The thing needs to be in:

/usr/local/portage/<category>/<packagename>/<ebuild>

I'd missed out <packagename>.

Sorry for the noise... :-)

Pete.
