For those that aren't yet familiar with layman and overlays, install
layman with:
Then go ahead and `emerge` any of the extra packages my overlay
provides!
-You might also be interested in my [[branch of Torsten Veller's
-overlay|Tove overlay]]. Update: my branch made it easier to install
-updated versions of [ikiwiki][], but Torsten has sinced pushed the
-ikiwiki ebuild into the stock Portage tree.
+I also have a [[Gentoo Prefix overlay]] which I use to install useful
+stuff on our family [[Mac|Humanizing OS X]].
+
+There is an [unofficial web interface][web] that allows you to search
+for overlays containing specific ebuilds, which is useful if you want
+an ebuild but aren't sure who's offering it ;).
As a note to myself, you can test all the ebuilds in your overlay from
the overlay's root directory with:
