I about to call the ISP, but in the the mean time here are a few more comments..... Wow! Right under my nose. I have this page bookmarked and up: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/ Browsing online to find the manpage (9999) seems to be evading me.... I was probably too quick on that resources as it gives lots of hits on portage. Perhaps I should have used several compounds in my query string for searching that tree? > Then, from within the repo, > $ man man/portage.5 > Search for "repos.conf". yes. > The epatch_user function comes from eutils.eclass (you can find it in > the "eclass" directory of your portage tree snapshot). And this is embarrassing. I'd always looked online at eclasses. Again right under my nose in '/usr/portage/eclass'. It's a good thing 'old_farts' dont blush very easily......... > It will probably be in EAPI6 under a different name, but I don't > think there's any code written yet. Is there a preliminary doc on EAPI6? I know there is still some unfinished business therein, but, the sooner we can start reading the better. For me, it takes a while to get use to the changes, so I'm trying to read ahead a bit, particularly the part where my codes become part of my gentoo systems, with ease...... I'm all ears on that! Thanks, James
