Hello Everybody, |
2 |
|
3 |
In an ongoing effort to model the best possible organisation of the |
4 |
portage tree, I am pleased to announce a new category: x11-themes. The |
5 |
purpose of this category will be to contain, well, themes :) |
6 |
|
7 |
To this end, the existing themes in portage have been migrated. In |
8 |
particular: |
9 |
|
10 |
x11-misc/mosfet-liquid-widgets |
11 |
app-misc/gtk-theme-switch |
12 |
x11-wm/sawfish-themes |
13 |
x11-libx/gtk-engines |
14 |
x11-libs/gtk-thinice-engine |
15 |
x11-libs/gtk-thinice-theme |
16 |
x11-libs/crux |
17 |
|
18 |
all have a new home in x11-themes. |
19 |
|
20 |
In order to upgrade your personal emerges, please do the following: |
21 |
|
22 |
# emerge sync --clean |
23 |
|
24 |
to get the latest portage tree. The --clean option will ensure that |
25 |
stale ebuilds are being removed from your local tree. |
26 |
|
27 |
# emerge --pretend unmerge <your_app> |
28 |
|
29 |
Without the --pretend option, this will remove your app. |
30 |
|
31 |
# emerge --pretend x11-theme/<your_app> |
32 |
|
33 |
And this will remerge the correct version. |
34 |
|
35 |
As all future releases of these applications will be made in the new |
36 |
category this upgrade is recommended. |
37 |
|
38 |
|
39 |
|
40 |
Also, please note that app-misc/xscreensaver has been moved to |
41 |
x11-misc/xscreensaver, so please follow the above steps analogously to |
42 |
upgrade your personal emerges. |
43 |
|
44 |
Sorry for the short term inconvenience, but this will serve us all better |
45 |
in the long-term. |
46 |
|
47 |
Thanks, |
48 |
|
