[gentoo-user] EIX and sunrise overlay

[Ow Mun Heng]

I just found out about sunrise overlay and I've added a few overlays
into my tree.
Seems that eix doesn't know about it. How can I inform eix about it?

when I do a update-eix --dump I do see that I didn't exclude any trees.

Eix however, does know about my overlays in /usr/local/portage

and yes, I did put in source /usr/portage/layman/make.conf in make.conf

What is the content of /etc/portage/modules and /etc/eixrc?

Did you add them with layman? eix doesn't understand the "source
/path/to/layman/make.conf" line in /etc/make.conf. I found the simplest,
if kludgy solution is to copy the contents of the layman/make.conf file
to the end of /etc/make.conf. As long as you don't go changing overlays
every five minutes, this shouldn't be a problem.

This signature project was my last, best hope to seem eloquent. It failed.
But in the year of Decency In Communications Act, it became something
greater. My last, best hope for satire. The year is 1997. The Place:
Babbling On Pine.

There is a bug open about eix not knowing the source command.
bugs.gentoo.org/132874
It is already committed in the subversion.

A simple workaround is to just not use the source command, edit
/etc/layman/layman.cfg:
make_conf : %(storage)s/make.conf

change that to /etc/make.conf

Best regards,
Stefan
