 |
|
I'm trying to get fusion-icon emerged, but I can't seem to find a corresponding ebuild anywhere. it's not in the main gentoo portage, and all the overlay references I find, like desktop-effect, xeffects & the like are non-existent by now.
is there an ebuild that available currently for fusion-icon? why is it not in the main portage tree? |

desktop-effects [Git ] (source: git://git.overlays.gentoo....)
It may be that it had to be added to layman manually - I know I´ve done this once or twice. I´ll see if I can find out, but it definitely is current (and fusion-icon works fine). |

interesting - dektop-effects is actually marked as non-offical, so it doesn't show up on layman -L
but it's there well, strange behaviour |

| Does layman -a desktop-effects work for you? If not, then you have to add it manually, which I can´t find how to do at the moment. Somewhere on the forums lies the answer... |

yes, it does. it's just strange that there's no option to layman that it would actually list these unoffical overlays, one has to open the overlay list XML file and see manually (actually desktop-effects is the very first in the file but adding it worked fine.. |

oh, I see. from the documentation, it wasn't clear to me what this does:
| Code: |
-k, --nocheck Do not check overlay definitions and do not issue a
warning if description or contact information are
missing.
|
thanks for letting me know! |

why doesn't that ebuild appear again? Will it appear on a later date? or is it something I screwed up?
I have that same problem as posted above. It appears in portage (fusion-icon that is), but no ebuild available. |

fusion-icon is not in portage. it only resides in the desktop-effects overlay.
i think this is because it never had any real release but has always need to be pulled from git (aka a 9999 ebuild). I could be wrong though... as it looks like there is at least a 0.1 release (also in desktop-effects). |

I found my mistake. from [url="http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Overlays"]this[/url] wiki link, it says....
| Quote: | For layman versions prior to 1.2.0 use:
echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
For layman versions 1.2.0 and later use:
echo "source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf |
I was using the first link instead of the second, and i had layman 1.2.0. |
