1 How to make eix search an overlay too.
2
3 The manpage for layman says:
4
5 You can search through the ebuilds available in the overlays on
6 http://overlays.gentoo.org by using "eix". Emerge the package and
7 run update-eix-remote update.
8
9 But I find no such option in eix or eix --help|grep update
10 or 'man eix' although I do find eix-remote and eix-layman.
11
12 But not at all clear if either of those can cause eix to search
13 overlays.
14
15 I don't see any likely use flags to change either at:
16 emerge -vp eix:
17 [ebuild R ] app-portage/eix-0.18.0
18 USE="bzip2 nls -deprecated -doc -sqlite -tools" 0 kB
19
20 It must be common task for people using overlays... so anyone know how
21 its done.
