19 You didn't unmask/keyword anything, so you are getting the window manager in
20 portage, which is e16.
21
22 To get e17 you need to get it from an overlay. The only overlay that actually
23 works right now is
24
25 http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/packaging/gentoo
26
27 vapier's overlay was out of date, is now being updated and is in a state of
28 flux, i.e. constantly breaking and changing.
29
30 I've never heard of the overlay on the gentoo-wiki page.
31
32 To use the e17 window manager you *must* install the -9999 efl libs from svn.
33 The e17 ebuild does not cater for the -beta2 versions.
