Ha.. no wonder I didn't find it.
However its not a part of the eix package nor is it visible on
portage. At least
equery files eix|grep remote fails to show it and
`eix eix-remote' fails as well.
Those files changed names in recent versions of eix. There is no
more update-
eix-remote. It's all in the ChangeLog.
The old update-eix-remote would index all available overlays which
made it real handy for finding which overlay you needed. The new eix-
remote seems to only index the overlays you have installed. Am I
missing something?
Also I keep getting this error message, even after explicitly running
eix-update:
