Fluidportage ebuilds for CVS/SVN programs

Did you know you could get CVS versions of many choice programs in portage? Neither did I!

Redeeman, sn4ip3r, and friends have provided ebuilds for some; read on to use them!
1. emerge subversion (This is required to sync the ebuilds.)
2. Now you have to checkout the ebuilds. The first time, issue the following commands:

Yes, I did forget (how to do that). :oops:

Thanks for clarifying.

Since this is some sort of mini-howto, should I edit my original post and one of the mods could clean this up? Or should we leave it as-is?

Edit the first post. So people dont get confused.

I think he needs to update his xfce4-cvs builds, since xfce4-modules is deprecated. I tried to emerge xfce4-cvs and found it out.

Does anyone have a reference saying so?

Why don't you PM him to let him know, citing the error you're receiving? (And you could put it here as well, for completeness's sake.)

It would be best to report problems to redeeman or sn4ip3r either here on the forums or on IRC (#love-sources@freenode). I don't know what that error means. :oops:

I did that, and thanks to sn4ip3r its fixed now

I posted the messages here just for the heck of it, so that everyone know what's going on.

UPDATE: now the error message is this:

I edited the how-to to show how to update CVS using fluidmanager.

andrewski: I got this message when I tried the upgrade.

Yeah, I did too; you have to emerge genlop.

Sometimes CVS is broken. Not the ebuilds in fluidportage, the actual upstream CVS. Waiting a few days and trying again usually fixes it

thanks for the help guys, I just emerged genlop but still having the same error.

Hmm... maybe emerge gentoolkit? (I don't know if that will help!)
Or, check out the IRC channel #love-sources@freenode to get help. I'm out of ideas; emerging genlop did it for me.

1:
nice, i got my own guide, now i dont have to write one myself :DDD
thanks!

2:
you should not make the dir /usr/local/trunk, just:
cd /usr/local
and then svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage

3:
fluidportage is now online 24/7, and has been in a month, (as i am writing this, my server has died, but it will be up tomorow again)
andrewski: please edit the first post with these changes

pagal · n00b Joined: 17 Feb 2003 Posts: 59

I already have gentoolkit emerged.
Redeeman, any ideas?
