I am a holiday updater every second month or so; so at time to time I something get screw up and I got caught in between. |
| 10 |
I was looking blindly as I didn't really know what to look for. I turn out it was a problem with recent gtk+ package. |

I'm not sure if building binary is a solution for me. |

This atic stuff was explained to me on the forum in more details, I remember running overlay but it was long time ago so I had to have my memory refresh. |

First we need in make.conf |
| 38 |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Next we need to find the package from: |
| 41 |
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/?hideattic=0 |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Download the ebuild (and any extra/patches) and put in in <path-to-overlay>/<category>/<packagename> |
| 44 |
run full path name: |
| 45 |
ebuild <path-to-overlay>/<category>/<packagename>/xxxx.ebuild manifest |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
It would be a good idea to have detailed instruction somewhere in Gentoo documentation. |
