But it isn't only eix that's having a problem. I cannot emerge a
pro-audio overlay application even when I know it's name.
It seems to me there's a fundamental problem here somewhere. I don't
see why the overlay doesn't honor the existing PORTDIR_OVERLAY item
sicne that's where I've already decided to put things. Anyway I'll try
changes with the make.conf file sometime later today.
Thanks,
Mark
OK, I changed make.conf much like Steel showed:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=""
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio"
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
It works and I do see the pro-audio apps now:
lightning ~ # eix ardour2
* media-sound/ardour2-cvs [2]
Available versions: ~1
Installed: none
Homepage: http://ardour.org/
Description: multi-track hard disk recording software
[1] /usr/local/portage
[2] /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio
Found 1 matches
lightning ~ #
However, it now seems incorrect to source the second makefile as it
appears to be doing, or trying to do, what the changes Steel & I did
to our make.conf files directly:
lightning ~ # cat /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY
/usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio"
lightning ~ #
I'm also unlear why the line in layman/make.conf should be on two
lines, but that's a minor matter.
So, good news: I can try building a few of the apps from your work. THANKS!
Cheers,
Mark
