Following the above, I see that the way ti search for remote (not |
| 19 |
locally installed overlays) is to use the -R option. |
| 20 |
From eix (app-portage/eix-0.28.5) man page: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
-R, --remote |
| 23 |
Uses the value of EIX_REMOTE1 as cache file name. Use this option if |
| 24 |
you want to see what eix-remote produced. You can make this option |
| 25 |
the default by setting REMOTE_DEFAULT=1. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So in /etc/eixrc/00-eixrc I have set |
| 28 |
KEEP_VIRTUALS=true |
| 29 |
REMOTE_DEFAULT=1 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
and now when doing a search I get results from all layman overlays |
| 32 |
(either installed or not). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I am not sure whether the KEEP_VIRTUALS setting is needed though, |
| 35 |
because the man page is *not* clear to me. Besides, in the bugs section |
| 36 |
of the man page, it says: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The previous default KEEP_VIRTUALS=true used to confuse people. However, |
| 39 |
with the new default, nobody will find out that this feature exists. :( |
