[crossdev]
location = /usr/local/portage-crossdev
priority = 10
masters = gentoo
auto-sync = no
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 <path>" option as well. The help explictly says:
-oO, --ov-output path Parent directory of overlay to write crossdev package links [default: uses repo with name 'crossdev', or 'cross-\${CTARGET}', or falls back to first from --overlays list]. 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.
