To get e17 you need to get it from an overlay. The only overlay that actually works right now is http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/packaging/gentoo vapier's overlay was out of date, is now being updated and is in a state of flux, i.e. constantly breaking and changing. I've never heard of the overlay on the gentoo-wiki page. To use the e17 window manager you *must* install the -9999 efl libs from svn. The e17 ebuild does not cater for the -beta2 versions. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
