The eix-remote -q update command should take care of that. Try running it
and searching for something that you know isn't in one of the overlays
that you use :-)

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
