[arcon-portage overlay] User oriented overlay

shaumux · Last edited by shaumux on Fri Jan 25, 2008 7:29 pm; edited 2 times in total

This project was started mainly as an user oriented overlay.There's a good collection of bleeding edge and stable packages in the overlay.
We have tried to keep all the packages which someone might want in the overlay. To try the overlay

1.) Using Layman

small reorganisation in arcon...

1) irc channel moved to #arcon @ irc.freenode.net so should be easier accessible especially for #gentoo channel users

2) overlay can be directly fetch using this command: svn co https://arcon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arcon/trunk/overlay portage-arcon

3) using layman, see http://arcong.ath.cx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=30

4) and browse it here: http://arcon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/arcon/trunk/overlay

More info here: http://arcong.ath.cx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=30

It is visible in layman.
It will either be as arcon. If you can't see it use the -k option

Everybody makes mistakes but no problem but jmbsvicetto maybe your wordings the last time confused him.
I was confused myself as to was it spam or for real.
Any it was my mistake and the paludis and playman support will be introduced and inforfed here and on the site too.

Try making/editing /etc/paludis/repositories/paludis-extras.conf:

And add this into that file:

If arcon.conf or arcon-portage.conf works that would be the best i guess then.

Belliash · Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 8:14 am Post subject:

I have never used paludius, never tried it.
The best would be if someone who use it or even better, develop would instruct us

However we can try few differentways, maybe one of them will work...
We officially do not support Paludius (yet). The main reason for is that it's not supported by Gentoo. This does not mean we will never support it.

If anyone uses the overlay and the KDE Packages included for Pertty, Kickoff, etc, these are from the Xeffects overlay. Unfortunately, we will not be able to support these as the ebuilds would indicate, as they are outside our overlay. Please be sure to contact arcon-portage overlay maintainers for any issues.

The maintainer should probably post something up about this on their web page. The ebuilds from the Xeffects included in the arcon-portage overlay should either include a Changelog (as ours is not included for some reason) to this effect or modify the ebuilds as well to reflect this.

There have been complaints in the past from users posting bugs to the general bugs.gentoo.org for ebuilds from the xeffects overlay, and I have gone to great lengths to ensure our ebuilds are clean and things get fixed quickly. It's now possible that new bugs could get opened and xeffects would get blamed, and this is not desirable.

Anything you can do to make this cleaner would be much appreciated.

Cheers

All of the ebuilds taken from xeffects are kept in sync with xeefects
But the users should report any bugs from the ebuilds in arcon overlay to either the forum or bugtracker at the arcon overlay website and not at the xeffects website.

It will be determined if the problem is with the arcon overlay or really with xeffect ebuild and forwarded if necessary.
It is important to do so to avoid giving the xeffects developers and maintainer useless hassels and pressure

I've added TONS of games from this topic. Thanks to frostworks work.

Also there is up-2-date ebuild for smplayer-0.5.5x (will be 0.5.6x soon) with qt4 support and smplayer-themes. It's the best (IMHO) frontend for mplayer.

arcon should work now without this ugly line added to "overlays" section in /etc/layman/layman.cfg. (-:

First post should be updated today (I hope so).

@Belliash:

could you please counter-check the ebuild of avant-window-navigator-extras in arcon overlay and mine: http://www.kerneloftruth.neucode.org/other/awn-extras/

some time ago I had to modify it (from xeffects overlay) to make it build, unfortunately I don't know anymore what exactly caused it to fail anymore, but it still builds and probably needs newer addresses (urls)

so if you'd like to add it to arcon overlay go ahead

the overly seems to be broken (or I understand nothing to overlay, this is most possible)

localhost ~ # layman -a arcon
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn co "https://arcon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/arcon/trunk/overlay//" "/usr/portage/local/layman/arcon""...
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svnroot/arcon/trunk/overlay'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svnroot/arcon/trunk/overlay': could not connect to server (https://arcon.svn.sourceforge.net)
* Failed to add overlay "arcon".
* Error was: Adding the overlay failed!
