Gentoo overlay with some ebuilds that I found either outdated or missing in the official repository or in other overlays.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
:
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
.
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
Thanks go to Jakub Jirutka, the maintainer of the CVUT Overlay, from whom I shamelessly copied this README.md for a start.
