this is my first post here, but I am working with Linux generel for many years now. A long time with Gentoo Linux.
I want to setup a completly new system as my workstation. Everything for now works fine and I got a very fast and responsible base system.
As my desktop environment I want to have the newest version of Xfce 4.12, but no ebuild exists in default Funtoo portage tree. So I search a little bit and found a suitable ebuild in Gentoo's portage tree. I added the tree as overlay using layman.
Everything seems to be fine, but when I'm doing emerge -av xfce4-meta only the 4.10 version will be offered.
I tried several trings, adding version number: emerge -av xfce4-meta-4.12 the i got no result. Or adding portage tree suffix: emerge -av xfce4-meta::gentoo, or all in combination....still no result.
No plan what I'm doing wrong. So please help me! :) That would be SO GREAT!!!
