webmin not in Entropy

[DATsence]

Hi,

First of all, thanks to everyone who has been working on Sabayon - no distro can match it on combining performence, hw detektion or easyness (or more advance if digging under the hood). Truth is, gentoo was alittle to much work .

So the problem:

Couple of days ago, I installed client (acer verizon) and server (P3 256mb), with SL8-xfce and SL8-spinbase-server. Then:

Code: Select all

 equo update && equo install entropy equo --nodeps && equo upgrade && equo conf update && equo cleanup

Then on server:

Code: Select all

equo install webmin

or

Code: Select all

equo search webmin

and it reports not found. So i tried layman -s and then emerge webmin. No luck. Same thing on the client - on sulfur i can see usermin but not webmin.

I've tried

Code: Select all

equo deptest && equo libtest

Clean. Also tried the forum, but the only thing i found was something about a menelkit overlay for portage, but that one returned emty.

Only thing I can think of is that it is masked, but not sure why it should be... http://gentoo-portage.com/app-admin/webmin shows it should atlest be in Portage, but Entropy is the preffered way.

Any suggestions are much appreciated...

I do see webmin with emerge.

Code: Select all

emerge -p webmin

give me the version 1.580

Have you sync emerge?

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

Thanks for reminding me of --sync. Been years since i used gentoo/portage...

Anyway, --sync worked and found webmin, however, neither emerge entropy or emerge webmin worked. Both failed on kompiling. Guess ill read upon portage again (its a pain in the pita and the reason i leaft it )

I'll reinstall and try again only with portage...

I dont mind doing cli over ssh, and finding a another distro just for webmin would be difficult, considering the age of the server... compiling from source is an option, but it would not be included in system wide upgrade...

Does any devs or anyone else knows why its not in Entropy or doesnt find it either?


EDIT: changed the subject title...

Perhaps not much help here but I have it installed.
I downloaded from the webmin site and unpacked it to /opt/webmin. Now here is where I'm vague as I don't recall doing anything else, but it is all running OK.

Good lluck
