Handbook Talk:AMD64/Portage/CustomTree

PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Since PORTDIR_OVERLAY has been deprecated the handbook should be updated to reflect those changes.--Moaxcp (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * This was done in a previous edit. --Grknight (talk) 15:47, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Overlay guide
This article still contains a link to the old overlay guide. Perhaps we should update that link to the new overlay guide. Fturco (talk) 16:02, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * This is the same link? Did you accidentally link wrong? Need more info. --Maffblaster (talk) 23:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Current Link: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/Old_User_Guide
 * New Link:    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/Overlays_guide

 * This appears to have changed in a previous edit. --Grknight (talk) 15:52, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Defining a custom repository
This section could benefit if a link were given, say at the start of it, to Overlay/Local_overlay since they both treat, essentially, the same subject --MiroR (talk) 20:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)


 * That page no longer exists. Can you suggest an alternative? --Grknight (talk) 15:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)


 * It seems moved to Custom repository.--Charles17 (talk) 09:23, 1 November 2019 (UTC)


 * And now Custom ebuild repository. --Maffblaster (talk) 22:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Excluding packages and categories
I did the rsync excluding thing and deleted games-* now i get a syncing manifest error: Manifest mismatch for games-action/Manifest.gz   __exists__: expected: True, have: False. My guess is its trying to verify something i do not have. The documentation should be updated to address this. Cj.wijtmans (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I have added a new paragraph to this section to show what is necessary for this old section to work. It will reduce security back to the old ways of no verification.  Perhaps this section should be removed instead. --Grknight (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
