Layman 1.3.0_rc1 released
New features this time: here is Layman 1.3.0_rc1. Let me try to summarize:
Summary
layman-1.3.0_rc1
introduces support for several sources per overlay. Also,
layman -i overlay
now makes full use of metadata that arrived with the
migration from layman-global.txt
to the repositories.xml
format.
Details
- Add support for several sources per overlay (also fixes #280472) When adding an overlay all sources will be probed until a working one is found. This should help Layman through some firewalls.
- Display related directory when deleting overlays
- Improve overlay info display (i.e.
layman -i
):- Add quality indicator (keep in mind: no guarantee)
- Add feed URIs
- Fix whitespace handling for description field
- Improve layman usage display
How to upgrade
- Unmask

if you're on stable sudo emerge -av =app-portage/layman-1.3.0_rc1
sudo etc-update
What else?
- Please report bugs!
- Using layman and proxies, programming Python? Feel like doing James a favor with bug #300651?
Gentoo is dying? Says who?!
