Yes, thanks Alan. That is what I was asking. I guess I should have posted that eix subsclipse showed nothing on my machines: dragonfly ~ # eix subclipse No matches found. dragonfly ~ # After adding the trauma overlay with layman now I see it: dragonfly ~ # layman -l * trauma [Subversion] (http://svn.digital-trauma.de/gentoo/trunk/ ) dragonfly ~ # eix subclipse * dev-util/eclipse-subclipse-bin [1] Available versions: 1.1.9!s 1.2.0!s Homepage: http://subclipse.tigris.org/ Description: Subversion support for Eclipse (binary) [1] "digital-trauma.de" /usr/local/portage/layman/trauma dragonfly ~ # but how do I determine that it's in trauma in the first place? This came up the other day where Grant was asking about rt-sources and I was able to answer because I use it and knew which overlay to tell him to add, but then I hit the wall myself and didn't know how to figure this out short of adding all overlays which seemed silly. I had hoped that layman would have a way to search non-installed overlays but I didn't find that so I asked here. And thanks to Neil who at least told me what overlay had a binary version. Unfortunately it appears it an older version of subclipse that's not intended for use with eclipse-3.5. Thanks, Mark
