emerge dfu-util? [Solved]

[smchadwell]

Hi, forgive the newbie query, but I'm a recent convert from Ubuntu. I'm trying to install dfu-util (the flashing utility for Openmoko phones), and I can see that a gentoo package exists (http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app- ... o-dfu-util). But emerge openmoko-dfu-util and app-mobilephone/openmoko-dfu-util get me nothing.

Am I missing a repository? I'm working on a standard gnome x64 install . . .

Many thanks,

Sean

what is "get me nothing"?

did you sync with portage?

From the openmoko wiki: " Gentoo - DFU-Util is in the main tree under the name openmoko-dfu-util"
emerge --search confirms:

Code: Select all

emerge --search openmoko

try to update portage (as root)

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S

maybe you will need to update layman storage path before... have a look at this: Layman storage path changed from version 1.3.0 on

Here's what I mean by "I'm getting nothing." Everything run as root.

# emerge openmoko-dfu-util
Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "openmoko-dfu-util".

Moreover,

# emerge --search openmoko

And,

# emerge --sync && layman -S

I'm not sure what layman is . . . but

Yeah, that did it. I didn't realize I was behind a firewall that closed rsync's port. Did it instead over a reliance netconnection. Good to go, now.
