How to add another repository [Solved]

[Verrerouseau]

Hello I am a new Sabayon user with (hopefully) some simple questions, I would like to use 2 applications
I like very much one I tried wich was available in the Spritz package manager (Zynaddsubfx) but this
aplication crashes as soon i touch the keyboard (I found out that a bug was already noticed).
So I also found out that there is another Zynaddsubfx and LMMS (wich I really want to install) in a
so called pro-audio repository.
Weather I found so many howto's about so many things related that I have no idea where to start, just
all I want to know is how can I put this pro-audio-repository into Spritz?

[wolfden]

you can't - should probably submit a bug report with the issues you are having with the one in entropy

you have to use layman and emerge to add Gentoo overlays

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml

You have to manually add the overlay via layman than emerge the packages -- mixing the package manager isn't recommended unless you know what you are doing tho. So keep that in mind

Thanks for answer, too bad it seems to be more complicated, I tried then to add a overlay weather it complains:

# layman -a pro-audio
* Failed to add overlay "pro-audio".
* Error was: Overlay "pro-audio" already in the local list!

So it looks like it's ok i think, further:

# emerge -av media-sound lmms
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf' in /etc/make.conf

Dunno what to change in make.conf output /etc/make.config is:

I'm sorry for the questions, I'm just not so good at this.

read the error:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf' in /etc/make.conf

now look at your make.conf
you have
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf
and
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf

several times

it should be only once
source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf

than you need to layman -a than emerge, you really should understand what you are doing first as you can break things mixing the two especially if it pulls a lot of dependencies. emerge -pv package will show you the changes first.

[Verrerouseau]

Yes true the double lines came when things didn't worked and tried it again, must have add things twice.

Like I said I have no idea how to get that layman thing to work, (need baby steps), and I don't care if it should break
(why should I, I just installed it, would like to use for multimedia apps and it doesn't work) it isn't
even fixed, see it from my point off view, I just followed all the steps given in the Gentoo documentation
even tried that what was given on the LMMS site (for Gentoo), and still get errors like:
# emerge -av lmms
WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries:

/usr/local/overlay/profiles/repo_name

NOTE: Each repo_name entry should be a plain text file containing a
unique name for the repository on the first line.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "lmms".

or
# emerge -av media-sound/lmms-0.3.2.ebuild
WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries:

/usr/local/overlay/profiles/repo_name

NOTE: Each repo_name entry should be a plain text file containing a
unique name for the repository on the first line.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! media-sound/lmms-0.3.2.ebuild is not in a valid portage tree hierarchy or does not exist


For example I can imagine the warning (the steps given doesn't create a /usr/local/overlay/profiles/repo_name),
so it makes no sense because how should I know about it if it isn't mentioned in the documentation about overlays.
Well ok don't mind, I see my position here, see it as a feedback, some more simplicity (so that is isn't just
nice to the adapted) wouldn't hurt.

[wolfden]

WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries:

you can ignore that, it has nothing to do that effects anything

so you have added the correct line to your make.conf?
than you have layman -a pro-audio
than emerge lmms


it's also in the sabayon overlay so a layman -S make sure you have that overlay added also layman -a sabayon
have you done the ?

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S

you have to do that step before anything when using portage for first time

You got to learn portage stuffs if you are gonna be using it. Knowing your package manager is vitally important. Take some time getting to know it, there is plenty of documentation on it.

[Verrerouseau]

Yes!! Thank you very much, the code:

emerge --sync && layman -S

must have done it, after that the: emerge lmms worked fine.
LMMS is working now, still have to read a lot about Sabayon/Gentoo I guess it seems to be pretty
different then the other linux distro I tried.
For example i still don't know how I can make emerge pick up another Zynaddsubfx then what is
offered in Spritz, but it's ok I use Amsynth for now, thanks!

[Skazzy]

how come when I try to install LMMS I get that some packages have been masked and cannot be installed or something like that. How do I unmask things?

[Fitzcarraldo]

^You need to study the documentation for the Portage package manager; see the Gentoo Handbook.
