I've just started to use layman tools and wondered if setting such |
| 2 |
things as /etc/portage/package.use would still be done in that same |
| 3 |
place and same way? |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I want to install an overlay of emacs-cvs but with different use flags |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'm following along with the instruction at: |
| 8 |
http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/05/24/multi-tty-emacs-on-gentoo-and-ubuntu/ |

On my laptop I run Gentoo Linux. Getting the latest version of Emacs on Gentoo was a breeze! : |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* Setup Layman |
| 13 |
* Add the emacs overlay: sudo layman -a emacs |
| 14 |
* Add the following USE flags for app-editors/emacs-cvs: sudo |
| 15 |
flagedit app-editors/emacs-cvs X Xaw3d alsa gif gzip-el jpeg |
| 16 |
lesstif png sound spell tiff toolkit-scroll-bars xpm -gtk |
| 17 |
-hesiod -motif -source. |
| 18 |
* GTK support is explicitly turned off as it causes problems with |
| 19 |
multi-TTY. This is no biggie for me as I always have |
| 20 |
(menu-bar-mode -1) and (tool-bar-mode -1) set. |
| 21 |
* Emerge: sudo emerge emacs-cvs -va |
| 22 |
* Tell the system to use the new emacs: sudo eselect emacs set emacs-23-multi-tty |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
To get emacs-multitty set up. It isn't really clear what role layman |
| 26 |
plays in those instructions since the final command is |
| 27 |
emerge emacs-cvs |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Or will that automatically use the layman overlays. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Or maybe the author assumes I don't already have emacs installed from |
| 32 |
/usr/portage. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I realize this is a little offhanded since its asking advice about 2nd |
| 35 |
party instructions. But I have no experience whatever with layman or |
| 36 |
using overlays at all. So thought maybe better to ask here than |
| 37 |
directly to the author of those instructions. |
