How to make eix search an overlay too. The manpage for layman says:
You can search through the ebuilds available in the overlays on http://overlays.gentoo.org by using "eix". Emerge the package and run update-eix-remote update. But I find no such option in eix or eix --help|grep update or 'man eix' although I do find eix-remote and eix-layman. But not at all clear if either of those can cause eix to search overlays. I don't see any likely use flags to change either at: emerge -vp eix: [ebuild R ] app-portage/eix-0.18.0 USE="bzip2 nls -deprecated -doc -sqlite -tools" 0 kB It must be common task for people using overlays... so anyone know how its done.
