Hi, I've been trying to merge kiba-dock using xeffects overlay
and although I've entered "gnome-extra/kiba-dock -*" into my package.keywords
I still can't emerge it because the ebuild complains about missing keyword....
Searched the forums but didn't find a solution..

It would be helpful if you would paste exactly what you are doing and the output.
you probably wanted to have gnome-extra/kiba-dock ~x86 in package.keywords

I have the same problem, although your situation seems to be slightly different. missing keyword needs an entry in package.keywords

Makes me quite unhappy....
It's kind of wird it just doesn't matter if I put down the entry in package.keywords..
Any other suggestions? I would really like to use that app...

** Keywords changed **
Published January 24th, 2007 in Overlay. 0 Comments
Portage 2.1.2 -r3/-r4 (which you must have, or the ebuilds wont build) introduced a new KEYWORD, **. Ebuilds now contain KEYWORDS=". Thus, all users who use any live ebuilds in xeffects,
or previously had to use -* need to update their package.keywords file to contain ** instead of -*.

from http://gentoo-xeffects.org/ so If you are going to use xeffects stay current with their site

Please add [Solved] to the original post topic

Found a solution: emerged portage 2.1.2-r8 (unstable..)

sorry to ask a slightly off-topic question, but does kiba-dock now compile and work? Does it find all the required dependencies? Thanks. I'd like to give it a try sometime but wanna make sure that the past problems (there were many) have been solved. There was a time when kiba-dock was even pulled out of xeffects because it just wouldn't compile properly.

ok, I've tried kiba-dock again, and I have to say that I'm very happy with it

It compiled fine, found all the dependencies, and it crashes very little. My biggest thanks to the xeffects team!
