I've not yet used overlays or layman; can I beg for a quick summary
for dummies? :-) Unfortunately, I am away from that machine for the
next week or so, and won't be able to report success or not until I
get access to it again.
Back when I ran slackware, there were some packages which I always
updated immediately because they were always good code: fvwm and
postgresql were among them. I know postgresql lags some, which is
annoying, but I had no idea fvwm was so out of date. Should I add a
requtes to that bug for moving it into the main ebuilds, or is there a
better way of requesting that?
