1 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

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,
