Warning
This repository is unmaintained as - like many others - I've completely lost interest in submitting fixes to Gentoo. If you're inside the EADS firewall you'll find fixes against upstream's tree in the shared gentoo-fixes
repository.
Packages with fixes submitted to the Gentoo BTS that have yet to be applied. Its main purpose is my staging ground, so I can separately manage upstreamed fixes.
If you find any problems with ebuilds in this overlay either file an issue or drop me an email.
Warning
This repository uses thin manifests, which requires a moderately recent version of portage
to function correctly(2.1.10.18 or newer). Using older versions is not supported!
If you use oilman
to manage your repositories you can call:
# oilman --add-repository jnrowe::fixes
Or, if you'd rather use the rsync mirror:
# oilman --method=rsync --add-repository jnrowe::fixes
To sync the repository:
# oilman --sync jnrowe::fixes # Sync this repository only
# oilman --sync all # or sync all repositories
If you use layman to sync your repositories you can simply add this repository to the supported list.
If you're using layman v1.2.4 or newer, then the support/layman2.xml
should be added to the overlays
section of /etc/layman/layman.conf
, for example:
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
file:///var/lib/repos/jnrowe-fixes/support/layman2.xml
If you're using layman v1.2.3 or earlier, then support/layman.xml
should be added to the overlays
section of /etc/layman/layman.conf
, for example:
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt
file:///var/lib/repos/jnrowe-fixes/support/layman.xml
Then you can add the overlay using layman
:
# layman -a jnrowe-fixes
Note: You may need to run layman --fetch
or perform a sync operation before this command will work.
To sync the repository you can use layman
directly, either syncing just this overlay or all your overlays at once:
# layman -s jnrowe-fixes # Sync just jnrowe-fixes
# layman -S # or sync all layman managed overlays
Or if you're an eix user you can use eix-sync
to update the repositories and the eix
database at the same time, first tell eix-sync
to update the repository:
# echo "jnrowe-fixes" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # Sync just jnrowe-fixes
# echo "*" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # or sync all layman managed overlays
Finally, use eix-sync
to update the specified repositories and eix
package database.
