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:
13 ([Gentoo 42103](http://bugs.gentoo.org/42103))
15 ([Gentoo 303867](http://bugs.gentoo.org/303867))
17 ([Gentoo 65200](http://bugs.gentoo.org/65200))
19 ([Gentoo 76017](http://bugs.gentoo.org/76017))
21 (my [[sawsim]] force spectroscopy simulator)
23 For those that aren't yet familiar with layman and overlays, install
26 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
28 Optionally edit `/etc/layman/layman.cfg`, and install my overlay with:
32 Then go ahead and `emerge` any of the extra packages my overlay
35 You might also be interested in my [[branch of Torsten Veller's
36 overlay|Tove overlay]]. Update: my branch made it easier to install
37 updated versions of [ikiwiki][], but Torsten has sinced pushed the
38 ikiwiki ebuild into the stock Portage tree..
