hario, I did use update-eix-remote. It didn’t find the package.

Hi,

installed vagalume from ebuild in bugzilla. Works great (x86 machine). No need to start bloated rhythmbox just to listen to last.fm.

Cause it ain’t trivial and to be honest: a severe lack of time

Donnie, you can use update-eix-remote update to make eix aware of packages available in those overlays which are not installed on your system. Also, if you try Vagalume and have problems installing, do not hesitate in dropping me a message and/or commenting in the associated bug and I will try to fix the ebuild

Cheers!

Thanks! I forgot to respond to the other part: If the *-sharp stuff is outdated and it bothers you, why don’t you just bump it yourself?

Huh. Wonder what the deal is with eix then — I assumed it would just make caches of everything in layman.

tasque is available in my dev-overlay, which you can add through layman

layman -a suka

Besides that, the situation isn’t as positive as you make it sound, especially in respect to gnome-do. The newest release (0.5.0.1) isn’t in portage as the whole gtk-sharp / gnome-sharp-stuff is WAY outdated in the tree (and gnome-do isn’t the only package not being able to be bumped cause of this, f-spot being another prominent example)
