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])
17 - app-mobilephone/obexpushd
18 ([ObexPushD](http://www.gitorious.org/obexpushd))
20 ([Gentoo 194499](http://bugs.gentoo.org/194499))
21 - dev-embedded/teensy-hid-listen
22 (command line HID-raw listener for the
23 [Teensy microcontrollers](http://pjrc.com/teensy/))
24 - dev-embedded/teensy-loader-cli
25 (command line programmer for the
26 [Teensy microcontrollers](http://pjrc.com/teensy/))
28 (my [[ChemDB]] package)
29 - dev-python/curses-check-for-keypress
30 (my [[curses-check-for-keypress]] package)
31 - dev-python/django-tables2
32 ([django-tables2](https://github.com/bradleyayers/django-tables2/))
33 - dev-python/FFT-tools
34 (my [[FFT-tools]] wrappers)
36 ([geopy](http://www.geopy.org/))
38 ([geopy](http://www.geopy.org/))
40 (my [[h5config]] package)
42 (my [[pgp-mime]] package)
44 (my [[pyassuan]] package)
46 (my [[pygrader]] package)
48 ([pymodbus](http://code.google.com/p/pymodbus/))
50 (my [[pypid]] PID controller package)
51 - dev-python/splittable-kwargs
52 (my [[splittable_kwargs]] package)
54 ([timebook](https://bitbucket.org/trevor/timebook/overview))
56 (a dev-tex/drexel-thesis dependency)
57 - dev-tex/drexel-thesis
58 (my [[drexel-thesis]] class)
60 ([Gentoo 303867](http://bugs.gentoo.org/303867))
62 ([Gentoo 65200](http://bugs.gentoo.org/65200), but I suggest you use
63 `media-gfx/exif` if you don't need `metacam`'s special decoding)
65 (work around Python 2.7 issues in [aubio](http://aubio.org/) by
66 using the development trunk)
68 ([twirssi](http://twirssi.com/), a Twitter and ident.ca plugin for
69 [irssi](http://irssi.org/))
71 ([Gentoo 348206](http://bugs.gentoo.org/348206), [[comedilib|Comedi]])
73 (my [[pyafm]] AFM control library)
75 (my [[pycomedi]] Cython-based Comedi wrapper)
77 (my [[pypiezo]] piezoelectric actuator control library)
79 (my [[stepper]]-motor control library)
80 - sci-misc/comedi-headers
81 ([[Comedi]] kernel module headers)
82 - sci-physics/calibcant
83 (my [[calibcant]] AFM cantilever calibration suite)
85 (my branch of the [[Hooke]] [[force spectroscopy]] analyzer)
87 (my [[sawsim]] force spectroscopy simulator)
88 - virtual/monkeysphere-validation-agent/
89 ([Monkeysphere validation agent][msva] virtual package)
90 - virtual/thesis-tools
91 (useful dependencies for compiling a [[thesis]])
95 For those that aren't yet familiar with layman and overlays, install
98 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
100 Optionally edit `/etc/layman/layman.cfg`, and install my overlay with:
104 Then go ahead and `emerge` any of the extra packages my overlay
107 I also have a [[Gentoo Prefix overlay]] which I use to install useful
108 stuff on our family [[Mac|Humanizing OS X]].
110 There is an [unofficial web interface][web] that allows you to search
111 for overlays containing specific ebuilds, which is useful if you want
112 an ebuild but aren't sure who's offering it ;).
114 As a note to myself, you can test all the ebuilds in your overlay from
115 the overlay's root directory with:
117 # emerge --oneshot -av $(find . -name '*.ebuild' | sed 's/^..//' | sed 's/\/[^/]*$//' | sort | uniq)
