Psi+ on Gentoo Linux

Introduction

To install Psi+ just enable “extras” USE flag for net-im/psi. We will review installation of live package. If you want something more stable just skip unmasking.

NOTICE: You can install from either «rion» overlay or from the portage. «rion» overlay is recommended.

Enabling USE flags

For more comfortable work you may enable several use flags:

echo "net-im/psi crypt dbus ssl plugins extras">>/etc/portage/package.use

Some of them probably enabled by default.

Unmasking

After adding overlay you should unmask qca and qca plugins (its not obligatory, but since Psi+ is live we may miss some major changes):

echo "net-im/psi **">>/etc/portage/package.keywords

Installing

And the final step is as usually emerge :-)

emerge net-im/psi

Plugins

For most of plugins you will need something like…

echo "net-im/psimedia **">>/etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge net-im/psimedia

Try this right now ;)

See output of eix -c net-im/psi- for more plugins.

If something went wrong, you can try to install everything from “rion” overlay. Just add it via layman.

Enjoy ;-)
