How to make eix search an overlay too.
The manpage for layman says:
You can search through the ebuilds available in the overlays on
http://overlays.gentoo.org by using "eix". Emerge the package and
run update-eix-remote update.
But I find no such option in eix or eix --help|grep update
or 'man eix' although I do find eix-remote and eix-layman.
eix-update adds overlays to the eix-database. If you use eix-sync
instead of emerge --sync, you don't have to run eix-update afterwards.
[...]
update-eix-remote is an executable, not an option to the eix
executable. After running update-eix-remote your normal eix queries
will include overlays.
HTH,
