It looks like you are downloading the ebuild by hand from their web site. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I just installed Megesync 4.5.3 on my system, which has ffmpeg-4.4 |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
The commands I used were: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
layman -a 4nykey |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
to add the 4nykey overlay, which contains megasync, then |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
emerge -a megasync |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
just like other portage programs. |
| 65 |
|
