Unavailable repository 'nest' about nitratesky HOT 5 CLOSED

You're welcome!

I will enable the repo nest as I believe that would be the safest choice rather than running into a warning or error later when I need something from there.

Packages from overlay typically take precedence over packages in base repo (if you want to install app-misc/foo. and it is present in both ::gentoo and ::foo-overlay, the latter will be installed). Do consider masking all packages from ::nest overlay. As a rule of thumb, when I enable an overlay, I mask all packages and manually unmask ones that I want to be installed.

Hi! The message is completely harmless :) This message means that my overlay ("nitratesky") has some packages that depend on packages in a different overlay ("nest" in this case) and that overlay is not enabled on your machine.

Looking through my packages, looks like it's app-text/confluence_poster that depends on package dev-python/tomlkit from nest)

Do feel free to remove nest from metadata file, but an update to my overlay will overwrite your local change. As an alternative, you could run eselect repository enable nest. If you don't want to install anything from that repository - you can mask all packages from nest by adding line */*::nest to your package.mask.

Oh, alright. Thank you for the clarification. I'm new to gentoo so I didn't quite understand what portage meant by that message and also I couldn't find anything specifically related to that on Google. I will enable the repo nest as I believe that would be the safest choice rather than running into a warning or error later when I need something from there. Good day!

Oh cool, guess I have a long way to go in gentoo. Thank you for the tip!
