you have to point the make.conf to add the confs in there. it doesn't |
| 12 |
really matter where you put the untarred files, as long as you |
| 13 |
remember the location and as long as you point portage confs to these |
| 14 |
additional confs. i suggest to put them in the personal overlay, since |
| 15 |
at the next update of the x11 overlay with layman they'd be gone. |
| 16 |
for example if your personal overlay would be located |
| 17 |
/usr/portage/local/layman/personal put them there and then link to |
| 18 |
them by adding the following line to the following files: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
source /usr/portage/local/layman/x11.unmask |
| 21 |
to the /etc/portage/package_unmask.conf |
| 22 |
and |
| 23 |
source /usr/portage/local/layman/x11.keywords |
| 24 |
to the /etc/portage/package_keywords.conf. |

i suggest you to put them in a secondary package_use.conf to which you |
| 32 |
point from /etc/portage/package_use.conf |

use the emerge -vp option and see the overlay from which you compile |
| 41 |
the package. |
| 42 |
portage tells you from which overlay it has chosen the package to install. |
| 43 |
for example you find the compiz package in 3 overlays, gentoo, x11 and |
| 44 |
desktop-effects and portage would list something similar to the |
| 45 |
following: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
# emerge compiz -vp |
| 48 |
---- |
| 49 |
--- |
| 50 |
[0] - gentoo |
| 51 |
[1] - x11 |
| 52 |
[2] - desktop-effects |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
x11-wm/compiz [2] USE: aaa bbbb ccc ddd -eee -ffff -ggg |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
this means portage will install the compiz package from the [2] |
| 58 |
overlay, which in this case is desktop-effects. |
