Yes, I remember the media-libs change. I thought it was more recent than that - doesn't time fly! I must have been lucky because I uninstalled/reinstalled affected packages and all was fine with my E17. Bear in mind though that I have not installed all modules - I tend to emerge only what I use/need regularly. This weekend I removed efl and added the enlightenment overlay. Then checked that the following packages were keyworded as -9999, which were (re)installed without any problems:[1] dev-libs/ecore dev-libs/e_dbus dev-libs/eet dev-libs/eina dev-libs/embryo dev-libs/efreet media-libs/edje media-libs/ethumb media-libs/evas x11-wm/enlightenment media-libs/emotion dev-libs/eeze [1] In the process I had to uninstall some efl packages to avoid conflicts. I see that there are loads more packages in enlightenment overlay than what I have installed, but I am not sure if I need them (please let me know if you thing I'm missing out something basic). In time I will be trying more packages out no doubt. I also tried for a few days to switch away from -9999 and into the betas offered by the portage tree - then things got terribly messy and decided to stick with svn for now. So I think that the enlightenment overlay is usable, but as with all SVN things ... YMMV. ;-) -- Regards, Mick
