The Gentoo Overlays Project is an effort to provide a central repository for overlays.

This HOWTO guides you through the install of layman on Gentoo. I don't source layman's config in my make.conf file. I have configured layman to make the changes in my make.conf file instead, then I only have one file where I can see which overlays I use :) In my layman.cfg I have typed in my own layman list.

overlays : http://hamed.dk/scripts/layman.php
Now this was just setting up layman, here I'm reminding you something from the output after emerging layman
layman --help gives you all the relevant information and is pretty condensed:
* You are now ready to add overlays into your system.
*
* layman -L
*
* will display a list of available overlays.
*
* Use the -k switch to also list overlays that are
* considered less secure.
*
* Select an overlay and add it using
*
* layman -a overlay-name
I'd add to this brief list, that "layman -l" lists the already locally added overlays, which are ready to use by portage (emerge...)
