Overlays don't contain metadata directories and don't get synced, so they don't contain news items. Supporting news from multiple sources is something that's tied to supporting packages from multiple sources, which overlay doesn't permit. Fixing that would require fixing portage to support multiple repositories rather than using overlay, which is an issue for a different GLEP. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
