Another stupid ego -- kits -- local overlay question

[rsa4046]

I need to maintain some local overlays (mostly tied to various ::science ebuilds), and had done so using the sequence https://www.funtoo.org/Local_Overlay, i.e.

# mkdir /var/git/overlay
# cd /var/git/overlay
# git clone  http://github.com/funtoo/skeleton-overlay.git
# mv skeleton-overlay myoverlayname
# echo "myoverlayname" > /var/git/overlay/myoverlayname/profiles/repo_name
# echo "masters = core-kit" >> /var/git/overlay/myoverlayname/metadata/layout.conf

# echo "[myoverlayname]" >> /etc/portage/repos.conf/myoverlayname.conf
# echo "location = /var/git/overlay/myoverlayname" >> /etc/portage/repos.conf/myoverlayname.conf
# echo "masters = core-kit" >> /etc/portage/repos.conf/myoverlayname.conf
# echo "auto-sync = no" >> /etc/portage/repos.conf/myoverlayname.conf
# echo "priority = 10" >> /etc/portage/repos.conf/myoverlayname.conf

This has worked fine: I could sync portage with 'ego sync', and still have access to the ebuilds within these overlays. However, running 'ego sync' now nukes these overlays -- note "Removing repos.conf/..." messages below

# ego sync

...

So I presume that I should no longer be using 'ego sync' and just sync manually, i.e.,

# cd /var/git/meta-repo/
# git pull
# git submodule update
# cd /var/git/meta-repo/kits/xorg-kit/
# git checkout master
# git pull
# cd
# chown -R portage:portage /var/git/meta-repo
# eix-update

Is that correct or am I missing something?

It looks like you have your /etc/portage/repos.conf symlinked to /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf.

try:

rm /etc/portage/repos.conf
rm /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/funtoo
mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf/
ln -s /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo
for f in /var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf/*.conf; do mv "$f" /etc/portage/repos.conf/; done

weird.

i cannot reproduce ego nuking overlays. 

i use /etc/portage/repos.conf/oleg as my local overlay and ego sync doesnt remove it,  ego sync doesn't remove if i use oleg.conf too. Maybe something unrevealed. Can you show whats in /etc/portage by:

ls -dl /etc/portage/*/*

I notice that there is some mixed user:group ownership between root and portage ... should /etc/portage be entirely portage:portage?

Hi pytony, thanks for the help. Guess I had this backwards ... fixed now: ego sync preserves the overlays' .conf files. Many thanks, solved.
