fritteli's Gentoo overlay

=========================

Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays. Ebuilds are usually removed from this overlay whenever I find a version available in the official tree or in another overlay (provided I'm satisfied with them).

Build status of the [master branch](https://gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay/src/branch/master), as seen by `repoman -p -x`: ![Build status](https://ci.gittr.ch/api/badges/linux/gentoo-overlay/status.svg)

Using with plain (recent) Portage
---------------------------------
Create a new config file under `/etc/portage/repos.conf/fritteli.conf` with the following contents:
[fritteli]
auto-sync = yes
location = /usr/local/portage/overlays/fritteli
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay.git
You may adapt the `location` attribute to your system's own setup.
If you prefer to use the overlay hostet at GitHub (which tends to be more stable but less up-to-date than the one hosted at gittr.ch), you may use `https://github.com/fritteli/gentoo-overlay.git` for the `sync-uri`.

Using with Layman
-----------------

You may also use [`layman`](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman) to manage this overlay. If you choose this method, you will be using the overlay hosted at GitHub.

If you haven't used layman yet, just install it running these commands:
2014-01-21 18:29:34 +01:00
USE=git emerge -va layman
echo PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"\" > /var/lib/layman/make.conf
echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
Then you can add this overlay wih:
2018-06-22 02:15:34 +02:00
layman -a fritteli
2018-06-22 02:15:34 +02:00
You will be prompted for confirmation because this is an experimental overlay. Just continue by hitting `y`.
2014-01-21 18:29:34 +01:00
Keep the overlay up to date from Git:
layman -s fritteli
2018-06-22 02:15:34 +02:00
Bug reports and ebuild requests
--------------------------------
If you find a bug in an ebuild, encounter a build error or would like me to add a new ebuild, please open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/fritteli/gentoo-overlay/issues) or on [gittr.ch](https://gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay/issues).
Contributing

I gladly accept pull requests for bugs or new ebuilds. Before opening a pull request, please make sure your changes don't upset [`repoman`](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repoman). Run the following command and fix warnings and errors:

Thanks go to Jakub Jirutka, the maintainer of the [CVUT Overlay](https://github.com/cvut/gentoo-overlay), from whom I shamelessly copied this README.md for a start.
