When I execute eix-test-obsolete, it display the following wierd thing: Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked): [I] app-misc/beagle (0.3.3[?]@02/27/08): Search tool that ransacks your personal information space to find whatever you're looking for [I] net-ftp/proftpd (1.3.1[?]@02/20/08): An advanced and very configurable FTP server. [I] x11-misc/qterm (0.4.1[?]@03/07/08): QTerm is a BBS client in Linux. [1] /usr/local/portage And I also notice that when I execute command update-eix, the following is printed: Reading Portage settings .. Building database (/var/cache/eix) .. [0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata) Reading 100% [1] "" /usr/portage/local/layman/sajinet (cache: none) Reading 100% [2] "berkano" /usr/portage/local/layman/berkano (cache: none) Reading 100% [3] "" /usr/local/portage (cache: none) Reading 100% Applying masks .. Database contains 12454 packages in 152 categories. It seems that there is no cache in the portage overlays, so update-eix can't get the package information in these overlay. What can I do to get the local overlay picked by eix? -- Shaochun Wang Jabber: fungusw@jabber.org -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
