1 [[!template id=gitrepo repo=wtk-overlay]]
3 I broke down today and looked into [Gentoo overlays][] and [layman][].
4 It seems much simpler now than it did when I last looked at it a year
5 or so ago. I guess I'm just more familiar with how portage works...
7 Anyhow, I've posted my personal `wtk` overlay and [[layman
8 XML|layman.xml]] describing it (update: my overlay is now listed in
9 the [global overlay list][global], so there is no need to mess with my
10 personal `layman.xml`). The overlay is a fairly strange mix:
12 - app-crypt/monkeysphere
13 ([Gentoo 313253](http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313253). My
14 [[Monkeysphere]] package)
16 (Perl implementation of the [Monkeysphere validation agent][msva])
18 ([Gentoo 42103](http://bugs.gentoo.org/42103))
19 - app-mobilephone/obexpushd
20 ([ObexPushD](http://www.gitorious.org/obexpushd))
22 ([Gentoo 194499](http://bugs.gentoo.org/194499))
23 - dev-python/curses-check-for-keypress
24 (my [[curses_check_for_keypress]] package)
25 - dev-python/FFT-tools
26 (my [[FFT-tools]] wrappers)
28 ([geopy](http://www.geopy.org/))
29 - dev-python/splittable-kwargs
30 (my [[splittable_kwargs]] package)
32 (a dev-tex/drexel-thesis dependency)
33 - dev-tex/drexel-thesis
34 (my [[drexel-thesis]] class)
36 ([Gentoo 303867](http://bugs.gentoo.org/303867))
38 ([Gentoo 348477](http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348477)
39 and this [mutt ticket](http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3478);
40 adds `pgp_mime_signature_filename` and
41 `pgp_mime_signature_description` config options)
43 ([Gentoo 65200](http://bugs.gentoo.org/65200), but I suggest you use
44 `media-gfx/exif` if you don't need `metacam`'s special decoding)
46 ([Gentoo 76017](http://bugs.gentoo.org/76017),
47 also in the [Sunrise overlay][])
49 ([Gentoo 348206](http://bugs.gentoo.org/348206), [[comedilib|Comedi]])
51 (my [pyafm] AFM control library)
53 (my [pycomedi] Cython-based Comedi wrapper)
55 (my [pypiezo] piezoelectric actuator control library)
57 (my [[stepper]]-motor control library)
58 - sci-misc/comedi-headers
59 ([[Comedi]] kernel module headers)
60 - sci-physics/calibcant
61 (my [[calibcant]] AFM cantilever calibration suite)
63 (my branch of the [[Hooke]] [[force spectroscopy]] analyzer)
65 (my [[sawsim]] force spectroscopy simulator)
66 - virtual/monkeysphere-validation-agent/
67 ([Monkeysphere validation agent][msva] virtual package)
68 - virtual/thesis-tools
69 (useful dependencies for compiling a [[thesis]])
73 For those that aren't yet familiar with layman and overlays, install
76 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
78 Optionally edit `/etc/layman/layman.cfg`, and install my overlay with:
82 Then go ahead and `emerge` any of the extra packages my overlay
85 There is an [unofficial web interface][web] that allows you to search
86 for overlays containing specific ebuilds, which is useful if you want
87 an ebuild but aren't sure who's offering it ;).
89 As a note to myself, you can test all the ebuilds in your overlay from
90 the overlay's root directory with:
92 # emerge --oneshot -av $(find . -name '*.ebuild' | sed 's/^..//' | sed 's/\/[^/]*$//' | sort | uniq)
