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Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays.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 content with them).

Using with Layman

Use layman to easily install and update overlays over time.

If you haven't used layman yet, just run 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/manuel/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
