Re: [proaudio] Some early questions

["Mark Knecht" <markknecht@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
  It's a total guess on my part but since I'm not seeing any of the
pro-audio packages using either eix or emerge, such as in emerge -pv
ardour2, I'm wondering whether the pro-audio portage overlay works
with the Gentoo portage speed up hack that uses cdb, since I use it,
located here:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_speed_up_portage_with_cdb

Just a thought since it's end of the day here in California and likely
many of you cool answer oriented folks are in Europe getting your
beauty sleep. ;-)

Cheers,
Mark
