Troubleshooting : priority repos internal priority numbers can have some irksome effects when using crossdev  at times

as user note 10 typically works but, you might need to adjust  +/- to get crossdev from chucking stuff in random /var/db/repos/...

this was a particularly irritating quirk and not at all quickly, in wiki...  or tip easaly found to fix. typically not too needed ,on average.

however if you eselect repo.... enable foo-bar, em..--sync if it has a internal priority=5 ,

next run of crossdev will likely drop stuff into that foo-bar, and emerge --sync if git might remove them thus breaking revdep etc. and possibly your nerves.

.. 0-9999 are typical priorities .. , but you may need to go priority =N-1, or etc, even 0 or etc to get crossdev to behave again.

 * I have never seen any evidence of this occurring so long as the overlay selection succession is followed. One can always force a repository with the "-oO  " option as well.  The help explictly says:  .  Also, please refrain from personal commentary in software articles and following the wiki formatting guidelines. --Grknight (talk) 13:58, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't think I've ever seen someone run into this issue but if someone does then feel free to reopen and I'll take a look further when some more information is provided.
