# Strict checking of overlay definitions
#
-# Set either to "yes" or "no". If "no" layman will issue
-# warnings if an overlay definition is missing either
-# description or contact information.
+# The nocheck option is a bit confusing, for historical reasons.
+# Hopefully this description eases the double negation trouble:
+#
+# nocheck : yes
+# - Accepts completene overlay entries without warnings
+# - Lists overlays of type foo (say Git) even with no foo installed
+#
+# nocheck : no
+# - Checks overlay entries for missing description or contact
+# information and issue warnings as needed
+# - Hides overlays of type foo (say Git) if foo not not installed
#
nocheck : yes
