As far as I can tell, that file would be useable if it didn't just follow whatever policy is set up for layman access to overlays. There are a few minor problems with it, like the filename and filename extension both being misleading (yes, I know it really is a "txt" file :), and the fact that none of the Overlays project's documentation mentions it. I'd hate to introduce duplication and as it does seem like > layman -i <overlay name> will depend on that URL for a good while yet, the filename changes aren't important. It _is_ important to get the file documented by the Overlays project so that the Bug Wranglers project (a QA sub-project) can depend on that. > IMO, what would really benefit us is to have a site akin to > http://gpo.zugaina.org/ on a Gentoo host to *find* packages that are > in 'official' overlays. That sounds nice. Same goes for files -> packages, of course. Kind regards, jer [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt
