[gentoo-user] Heliodor?

[gentoo-user] Heliodor?

[Dan Cowsill]

Hello list, first time postage here.

Right, so I installed Beryl a little while ago on Gnome, and for the
life of me I cannot either find the elusive Heliodor theming manager
to apply a new theme or figure out a way to apply Beryl-specific
themes using another tool.

So what's the deal here?  I use the newest nvidia drivers and I'm
running Gentoo on an amd64 system.

Thanks for any insights you can provide,
Dan

The package is x11-wm/heliodor. If you can't find it then I assume you 
have installed a stable amd64 system?

All 3 available versions of heliodor are marked unstable on amd64, so 
for stable amd64 you'll have to:

echo 'x11-wm/heliodor' > /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av heliodor

Do the following, instead :)
echo 'x11-wm/heliodor ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Either will work. If no arch is given in package.keywords, it defaults to
~yourcurrentarch.

Perhaps I'm being pedantic, but I think it's worth making clear that
Alan's version will clobber /etc/portage/package.keywords, excepting
noclobber-type options.

You're right. I was commenting on Alan's omission and Francesco's
inclusion of '~amd64'. I completely missed that Alan had used > instead
of >>.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

The ~amd64 is redundant in package.keywords if ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=amd64

man 5 portage -> section for package.keywords
