exactly that. it adds another source of PORTDIR_OVERLAY variables to
the main make.conf, which with the default settings will
be /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
Great. I followed the instructions and everything seems to have been
installed. I now see a pro-audio overlay directory in
/usr/portage/local/layman:
lightning ~ # ls -al /usr/portage/local/layman/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 14 16:23 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 14 16:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11441 May 14 16:22 cache.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71 May 14 16:23 make.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 399 May 14 16:23 overlays.xml
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 May 14 16:22 pro-audio
lightning ~ #
However, when I tried looking for packages in the overlay I didn't
find them:
lightning ~ # eix preamp
Found 0 matches
lightning ~ # eix aeolus
Found 0 matches
lightning ~ # eix whysynth
Found 0 matches
lightning ~ #
I did try an eix-sync but that didn't help. Sorry if I missed some
obvious step but I've been over this a couple of times and don't see
it.
BTW - I'm on an AMD64 machine. Does this overlay support AMD64? Hope
so...
