eix actually has a sync wrapper that can handle this for you |
| 19 |
automagically [1]. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
`eix-sync` will run: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
layman -S # sync all layman overlays (see note) |
| 24 |
emerge --sync # sync portage and all portage-managed overlays |
| 25 |
eix-update # update the eix cache |
| 26 |
eix-diff # show diff between last and current eix cache |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
(though the eix-diff can be --quiet'd). If using eix as your normal |
| 29 |
search utility, I would suggest using `eix-sync` as your normal sync |
| 30 |
method. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
With regard to eix-sync updating layman overlays, you need to: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
echo "*" > /etc/eix-sync.conf |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
to enable it. |
