Can't figure out one thing [Solved]

[pedrodh]

Hi there! I've been using the new version of sabayon since yesterday, in both my desktop and laptop computer. I've made a clean install in my laptop, and on my desktop I've upgraded from 3.4F version to 3.5 . All went well, both seems to keep working. So in my desktop first thing I do is try the equo command in everyday I could, and I surely like the idea of having user repositories , nice . One thing I noticed is, equo installs damn more fast than emerge, but thats because it isn't compiling the sources ? I've tested to install a bunch of things, and I know I've flags on my make.conf that say I don't want "festival" ( text-to-speech ) support, but applications have it anyway. So my question is, is equo compiling using flags from make.conf ?

Equo is our Entropy frontend.
Entropy is our binary package manager.

Have fun

Oh ok . So, by adding other repositories will I be able to get different builds for the same version of the same application? Also, where can I see all existing repositories? Thanks

Yes, you will be able to get different builds, if they are provided by the community repositories.
A list of the available repositories can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=Community_Repositories#List_of_Community_Repositories

Kind regards

Thanks. Now I fully understand the purpose of entropy, I hope more community repositories show up soon .
