2.4.1: `auto_sync : Yes` is ignored

[lkraav]

I'm trying to get all syncing handled by emaint sync, so repos.postsync.d hooks would trigger.

This requires /etc/layman/layman.cfg setting auto_sync: Yes. But layman -a <overlay> configures all repos auto_sync = no.

There is no indication in documentation or anywhere I could find, that anything special is require for this to work.

$ qlist -IUv layman
app-portage/layman-2.4.1-r1 (bazaar cvs git mercurial python_targets_python3_3 subversion)

Thoughts?

Turning on USE=sync-plugin-portage made auto-sync = Yes.

Haven't been able to figure out what the advantage sync-type = laymansync is.
