VDR development versions

[sami]

Hello,

I could only find VDR version 1.6 in sulfur. That is a very old release and does not support HD channels viewing. I found some .ebuilds for the latest releases and followed the instructions here http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... ty_Ebuilds

but I had this error:

Code: Select all

sabayon vdr # ebuild vdr-1.7.27.ebuild manifest

Is there a way to install recent version of VDR?

Thanks,
Sami

Hi there,
you can use the vdr-devel overlay. To do this do the following:
If you haven't already installed subversion then do do now by:

Code: Select all

# equo install subversion

Now we are installing the overlay:

Code: Select all

# layman -a vdr-devel

Then you can use emerge to install the latest version of vdr using:

Code: Select all

emerge vdr

cheers

Thanks for your help, Jomiel. This is what happens when I followed your instructions:

Code: Select all

sabayon sami # emerge vdr

Any idea what does this mean?

[Jomiel]

have you ever used "emerge --sync"?
That updates the emeger repos.

cheers

Thanks. I have sync(ed) portage and now it progressed semmingly very fine but ultimately it failed to install vdr. I just hope that Sabayon developers make new vdr binary packages and it definitely will make Sabayon a more attractive choice.

If you want the new vdr-version so badly you can allways request a version bump. https://bugs.sabayon.org/
