Hi,
I'm using layman to keep KDE 3.5 installed and have a question. I run
eix-sync to sync my tree. From what I see, it appears it also syncs
the layman part as well. Does it? This is what I see:
[0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-flat)
Reading 100% [1]
"kde-sunset" /usr/local/portage/layman/kde-sunset (cache:
parse|ebuild*#metadata-flat#assign)
Reading 100%
I just want to make sure I am seeing this correctly.
I dont't think so. "eix-sync" runs an "eix-update" after "emerge
--sync". It just rereads the overlay, without "layman -S" in advance.
You have to do that manually.
While I am here, I plan to get rid of all the layman stuff when KDE 4
is ready enough for me to use. Do I just run layman -d all and
unmerge layman? Does that get the job done?
Thanks much.

Maybe you want install kde4 first and then run "emerge --depclean"
(after removing the overlay). In that way you had an backup if kde4 fails.
