gechi-overlay alias #25

Closed bpinto closed 6 years ago

bpinto commented 6 years ago

When upgrading gcc to 6.4, I have seen this warning:

* Switching native-compiler to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-6.4.0 ...!!! Section 'gechi-overlay' in repos.conf has name different from repository name 'ineluctable-overlay' set inside repository

The only reference to this name on the code was on the layout file: aliases = gechi-overlay.

Do you know why I am receiving this warning if this is only an alias?

I have no idea, but at the same time I'm not so surprised by the warning. Pretty much all the Portage's tools are a bundle of mysteries wrapped in thick layers of stupidity :D

It could be a Portags's bug, or simply put the "alias" is not really an alias despite what the doc says, sgrunt.

On a side note, the alias is not required any more and could be safely removed. It was necessary years ago because the gechi overlay belonged to the Gentoo CHannel Italia organization, which closed around ~2010 and its overlay was conflated with mine to keep it working.
