[gentoo-user] /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name

[James]

Hello,


Upon routine update of one gentoo system, I get this
error message:

WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries:
        /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name
NOTE: Each repo_name entry should be a plain text file containing a
unique name for the repository on the first line.  


So looking in /etc/make.conf I see this entry:
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf


Obviously there is a miss-match?


I have no "/usr/local/portage/profiles" directory.
I have not used the overlays (layman or Sunrise)
for some time, so maybe I need to read up on
how to set these up, as to keep current?


Any suggestions are most welcome.

Check in this file if you have a reference to something in /usr/local/portage/

With the new layman version, everything moved from 
/usr/portage/local/layman to /usr/local/portage/layman.  You will need 
to either mv the directory or reconfigure to use the old location.

OK, 

so I copied the old dir (cp -Rp) to:
/usr/local/porgage/laymen

and edited the /etc/make.conf to to this:
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf

Then emerged layman to version 1.2.3


Last I can this file /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf to:


PORTDIR_OVERLAY="
/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise
$PORTDIR_OVERLAY
"



I still get the original error message about repo_name

However, adding to the package.keywords:
net-wireless/bluez
and then this
USE="consolekit" emerge -1 sys-auth/pambase

I was able to upgrade world.

However not when I issue:
update-eix, I get tons of errors about sunrise:

there was a change in layman - I never saw it documented but
apparently some devs on the pro-audio list knew about it - where
layman changed the path between /usr/local/portage and
/usr/portage/local. I think my solution was to use layman to remove
all overlays, then change my path in make.conf, then re-import the
overlays I was using. (vmware and pro-audio) IIRC corretly after
removing the overlay probably removed directories by hand, etc., and
did some cleanup. Anyway, after messing around with it things started
working again and I haven't had trouble since.

Note that I didn't have any private overlays and this happened
sometime back - maybe 2-3 months ago - so your results may vary or not
even be related.

You can probably find the thread in the proaudio users list archive if
you want to review what the dev told me.

Hope this helps,
Mark

I hope that's just a typo.  It should be "/usr/local/portage/layman".

You also need to edit /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf and change all 
paths to the new ones.  For example "/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" 
should become "/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise".

Also, make sure to "rm -r /usr/portage/layman/".


> I still get the original error message about repo_name

Hmm, you shouldn't.  Try to "layman -d" all overlays and then re-add them.

Also, try to rebuild the portage cache with "emerge --metadata" and see 
if that helps.

Hmm, permission problems?  Try:

   chmod a+r -R /usr/local/portage/
