Hi,
Often times there's 1 or 2 packages I want from an overlay, but don't
want the entire overlay. Is there a way to do a selective sync of a
layman overlay? By that I mean tell layman to only sync certain
directories and their contents.
Thanks.

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.

Yes, I've heard of "decaf." What's your point?

That's a great idea, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
