speedie-overlay

speedie’s Gentoo GNU/Linux overlay!

Dependencies

Gentoo system (fairly obvious)
app-eselect/eselect-repository or app-portage/layman
A reason to add my overlay (optional)

To add with eselect-repository

eselect repository add speedie-overlay git https://git.speedie.site/speedie/speedie-overlay
eselect repository list
eselect repsitory enable <num>

To add with layman

layman -o https://git.speedie.site/speedie/speedie-overlay/raw/branch/main/over lay.xml -f -a speedie-overlay

Usage after adding with layman

NOTE: With layman, you need to run this command manually every time you want to sync the overlay repository.

layman -s speedie-overlay

Usage adding with eselect-repository

emerge --sync

The advantage of using eselect-repository is that Gentoo treats it as a regular repository and will be updated along with the official Gentoo repository. This could also be a disadvantage for various reasons, but you can probably disable this feature!

Short link (for layman)

It may be difficult to memorize this link. You may choose to add the https://speedie.site/overlay.xml link instead. This is much easier to memorize. This overlay.xml file should always lead to the latest repository anyway!

License

The ebuilds are liensed under the GPLv2-only license due to Gentoo’s licensing. I choose to respect that, despite preferring GPLv3!
