The only reason why so many packages are needed to build entrance is because the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries are split in a lot of small packages. All the EFL dependencies needed by entrance are only about 10M in size. entrance is actually quite stable. The whole e project will probably stay masked until e17 is finished, which will need another couple of months development... To emerge entrance, copy-paste the following block in a terminal: mkdir -p /etc/portage cat << EOF >> /etc/portage/package.keywords x11-misc/entrance ~x86 x11-libs/ecore ~x86 x11-libs/evas ~x86 dev-libs/eet ~x86 media-libs/edje ~x86 dev-libs/embryo ~x86 x11-libs/esmart ~x86 media-libs/epsilon ~x86 media-libs/epeg ~x86 EOF emerge -avt entrance Christoph -- echo mailto: NOSPAM !#$.'<*>'|sed 's. ..'|tr "<*> !#:2" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] mailing list
