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Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays.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, as seen by repoman -p -x:

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 to manage this overlay, although that requires some more setup and manual sync'ing.

If you haven't used layman yet, just installing running these commands:

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:

layman -o https://gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay/raw/master/layman.xml -f -a fritteli

Alternatively, you may use the overlay hosted on GitHub. That may not be quite as up-to-date as the one on gittr.ch. To use the GitHub version, use this command:

layman -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fritteli/gentoo-overlay/master/layman.xml -f -a fritteli

Keep the overlay up to date from Git:

layman -s fritteli
