[gentoo-user] eix

eix <arg> 


use to match the <arg> string against all three: 
(1) gentoo tree /usr/portage
(2) the /var/lib/layman/ overlays I had installed and manage with layman
(3) my /usr/local/portage local ebuild placed in /usr/local/portage/


Now, only option (1) shows the embuilds

I can manully part (2) as they are still kept in
/var/lib/layman/  and see all the overlay (ebuilds)


Likewise, I can manually part (3) /usr/local/portage
any a vast collection of ugly ebuilds reside, fat dumb and happy
to not be published, ATM.


but no matter what I try eix shows nothing from (2) or (3) like it 
use to with the only requirement to match the string of the <arg>.

Now I have read all the news items, the new docs like
(https://cgit.gentoo.org/dev/ultrabug.git) and everything else
I can  google.

How do I fix this so a simple (alias if necessary) shows all three
sources of ebuilds on my system like it use to.

Note I have updated eix to app-portage/eix-0.30.11

I have all the files in /etc/portage/repos.conf:
gentoo.conf  java.conf  layman.conf  local.conf

cat layman.conf
[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo

I'd deeply appreciate a wee_bit of insight into this, with particular
attention on the java repos and getting the latest java codes the devs are
making available in the java repo, but not the gentoo tree.


TIA,

and you use eix-sync? You did eix-update?

Run eix-remote when you run eix-update

Do eix -R pattern to search all overlays.

RTFM for how to make this the default again.

By running eix-remote, eix is able to search even overlays you do not have
installed.

Very likely you have chosen inappropriate cache methods
for the ebuilds with eix, or the corresponding data is not readable
by user/group portage/portage (250:250):

The recommended way of using the metadata cache method works only
if your overlay provides that metadata or if you call egencache to
generate it. However, there are also other possibilities as sketched
in the section SPEEDUP in the eix manpage.

If you need further help post the output of eix-update.

In any case: Check whether user/group portage/portage has the
permissions to read overlays and metadata.
