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Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays.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 main branch, as seen by pkgcheck scan --exit error --net .: Build Status

Using this overlay

Just execute these commands:

eselect repository enable fritteli
emaint -r fritteli sync

In case this doesn't work, it might be because of a recent rename of the master branch to main. In that case, execute the following commands.
NOTE: You will be using the latest and most recent development version of the overlay. But that does no harm.

eselect repository add fritteli git https://gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay.git
emaint -r fritteli sync

If you prefer to use the overlay hosted 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 as the URL.

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.

Contributing

I gladly accept pull requests for bugs or new ebuilds. Before opening a pull request, please make sure your changes don't upset pkgcheck. Run the following command in the directory of the ebuild and fix warnings and errors:

pkgcheck scan --net .

Maintainers

Acknowledgements

Thanks go to Jakub Jirutka, the maintainer of the (now defunct) CVUT Overlay, from whom I shamelessly copied this README.md for a start.
