[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers 325.15 removal

2013-12-14 Thread »Q«
It looks to me as if the removal of nvidia-drivers-325.15 was a mistake, but I've got a lot going on in the meat world right now, and I don't want to file a bug if I've simply gotten confused. I run mostly stable amd64. I have 325.15 installed, and nothing regarding nvidia-drivers in /etc/portage

[gentoo-user] A quick and easy set of eix extension scripts for you holiday present.

2013-12-14 Thread Greg Woodbury
I have found some of the tools of portage a little opaque and confusing. Once I found eix, I put together a little set of shell scripts to make lists of the packages in portage. The script 'makeeixall' goes through and does an eix update and then generates a set of lists of packages: all, install
