1 Greetings;
2
3 I'm needing to add an ebuild, but there is something I'm not doing
4 right it seems.
5
6 I have xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild. The file that is.
7
8 I place it in /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/
9
10 I run "ebuild xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild digest" I can see that
11 the file Manifest is altered.
12
13 also tried "ebuild xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild manifest" as man
14 page says those are equivilant.
15
16 Then eix-update.
17
18 Then "eix xorg-server" - the version I am trying to add does not appear
19 in the output.
20
21 What am I missing here? Other than my sanity. :)

23 Thanks, Skippy
