# 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Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays.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`: [](https://ci.gittr.ch/linux/gentoo-overlay)
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
For detailed information regarding layman, please refer to the [official documentation](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman). This section only covers the process in a very brief manner.
|
|
|
|
If you haven't used layman yet, just install it running this command:
|
|
|
|
USE="git sync-plugin-portage" emerge layman
|
|
|
|
Then you can add this overlay wih:
|
|
|
|
layman -a fritteli
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted for confirmation because this is an experimental overlay. Just continue by hitting `y`.
|
|
|
|
Keep the overlay up to date from Git:
|
|
|
|
layman -s fritteli
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
repoman -x -p

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.
