The way I do this is I add the overlays in layman but do not add them to make.conf. Then I symlink individual directories from the layman overlay directory to my local overlay, which is in make.conf. That way I keep up to date with the one or two packages I need without pulling in the whole overlay. --=20 Neil Bothwick Yes, I've heard of "decaf."
