I tried to emerge --sync && layman -S

but there's a new emerge to install, but I can't seem to install it, I don't really know why.

I want to be able to install the enemy territory games and haven't had any luck with equo, so that's why I wanted to use portage.

only if you know what you are doing

what are the problems with equo?

Portage file collision is because you already have a newer portage installed and it wants to overwrite the newer files with older files = file collision.

To install portage you would need to install using equo:

Code: Select all

equo update
equo install equo entropy sulfur layman portage
equo search portage

2.6.32 or .33 or higher = good.

Next to get layman "overlays" to work you need to install "git" as layman is now using "git content management" to get info from main servers not old svn as it used too.

Code: Select all

equo install dev-util/git
layman -d sabayon
layman -f
layman -a sabayon
layman -S

After this you should be able to emerge --sync and have the correct stuff or you can download the portage latest snapshot and extract it = 3 hours faster to do and only about 40mb download.

Code: Select all

 tar xvfjp portage-latest.tbz  -C  /usr

Alternative method to get portage tree 200mb download:

Code: Select all

cd /usr
git clone git://github.com/funtoo/portage.git
cd /usr/portage
git checkout --track -b gentoo.org origin/gentoo.org
git branch


Then normal emerge --sync :
Example:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync
    >>> Starting git pull...in /usr/portage ...

Next normal:

Code: Select all

emerge -s enemy territory

The gamers part of the forums used to have ETQW install / info.

Code: Select all

linux st3v37 # layman -d sabayon
* Overlay "sabayon" does not exist!

what's that all about?

I see it there..........I just don't understand what I'm looking at.........jeez....I wanna do stuff but I feel like an idiot..

[kodiakmax]

you should take a look at:

Code: Select all

man layman


the -d option mean delete overlay so all that message means is that you don't have the layman overlay installed on your machine. continue with the next three lines.

Code: Select all

layman -f
layman -a sabayon
layman -S

man

is a fabulous operator

but sometimes I get stuck and that's when I post here.

Honestly, I don't post queries that often, and it's great to have somewhere to come to have a helping push when I'm stuck, Thanks.

what is the issue with equo and enemy territory ?

[stevencomerthornley]

I had not been able to get it properly set up using equo prior to this go round.
