Hello all, I'm trying to emerge armagetron on my Gentoo (x86 stable). It seems masked (with the ~x86 keyword). I have no problems with unstable packages, but I've got very much unstable packages, thus I don't want to emerge this unstable, too. But there's a "comment" on the masking, a second way:
--begin quoting-- linux-zc4n / # emerge armagetronad Calculating dependencies \ !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "armagetronad" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - games-action/armagetronad-0.2.7.1-r1 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Chris Gianelloni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (15 Jan 2007) # The Armagetron Advanced packages in Gentoo's repository are obsolete and will # likely remain masked until they can be revisted to be maintainable. Until # that time, the upstream team has created their own overlay: # emerge -a layman # layman -ka armagetron For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. linux-zc4n / # --end quoting-- My question is now, where can I find this overlay? I've tried the above commands, but last didn't work: --begin quoting-- linux-zc4n / # layman -ka armagetron * Overlay "armagetron" does not exist! linux-zc4n / # --end quoting-- (Sorry for my "art of quoting", I'm new here, and don't quite know how to quote!) Does anyone know the reason for failing? I thank you for your attention and I'm happy to read your replies. -- With best regards, Sebastian
