DISCLAIMER

This is a collaborative overlay, and we try to do our best to keep it clean. BUT it’s more a worker tree so beware there is no guarantee .

Unlike Gentoo portage :

• We believe that a non-working ebuild is better than no ebuild, since they can be masked and/or harmless.
• In such in-progress ebuild , we encourage packagers to comment the ebuild exhaustively.
• We invite contributors to let their credits and contact information in ebuild headers to get in touch with users for bugfixes/improvements/thanks.

Use it!

Add this overlay using layman (app-portage/layman):

Tips

deal with bad manifest

I’d some issue with bad Gentot Manifest due to presence of backup file ( ~ ). If adding a .gitignore file containing
the right regex protects from commit its ( in my case ‘*~’ ), that won’t solve the Manifest thing. Here a tip to add
to your commit scripts :

1. clean the repository ( git-rm not help here )
   

   find -iname $(cat .gitignore) -exec rm {} +;

2. regen Manifest , could be smarter (one digest by directory).
   

   find -iname "*.ebuild" -exec ebuild {} digest \;
