In order to use this overlay, make sure you have subversion installed: # emerge subversion Steps to using this overlay: 1) Make a directory for the overlay. The most popular way to add extra overlays is to put them in the /usr/local/overlays directory, so for this example I wil use: /usr/local/overlays/nx 2) Edit your make.conf file and add this directoy to your overlay line: PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/overlays/nx" You can have as many overlays as you want to have to keep things separate. I have 4 overlays. :P This is for reference. 3) cd to the new overlay directory, here it's: cd /usr/local/overlays/nx 4) Type: svn co http://svn.gnqs.org/svn/gentoo-nx-overlay/testing/net-misc svn co http://svn.gnqs.org/svn/gentoo-nx-overlay/testing/eclass NOTE: If you have a version of nx-x11 that is less than: 1.5.0-r8, then you need to unmerge that first. There have been massive changes to the ebuild. now you can emerge any file you want to. :) To use the new ebuilds, you need to add the following: 1) /etc/portage/package.keywords: net-misc/nx-x11 net-misc/nx-x11-bin net-misc/nxclient net-misc/nxcomp net-misc/nxesd net-misc/nxproxy net-misc/nxserver-business net-misc/nxserver-enterprise net-misc/nxserver-freenx net-misc/nxserver-personal net-misc/nxssh 2) /etc/portage/package.unmask: ~net-misc/nx-x11-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nx-x11-bin-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxclient-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxcomp-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxesd-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxproxy-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxserver-business-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxserver-enterprise-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxserver-freenx-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxserver-personal-1.5.0 ~net-misc/nxssh-1.5.0 Whenever the overlay is updated: 5) To update your overlay, cd to it and type: svn up
