the folder is ok, but you mustn't symlink them. you have to add the |
| 43 |
line i've wrote |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
source <your folder>/x11.keywords into the /etc/portage/package_keywords.conf |
| 46 |
and |
| 47 |
soure <your folder>/x11.unmask into the /etc/portage/package_unmask.conf |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
if you don't add that line with <your folder> the one in which you've |
| 50 |
copied the files you won't be able to use the same settings you've |
| 51 |
used for building world. this applies also to the package_unmask and |
| 52 |
package_keywords in the desktop-effects overlay. |

|
| 62 |
it's obvious. you haven't put the right stuff where should have gone. |
| 63 |
you have to link (inside the file) the various external package_unmask |
| 64 |
package_keywords and make.conf. doing that means you need to add a |
| 65 |
line which says: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
source <your file> inside the file you need. this is the way to |
| 68 |
correctly do this things. |
