misc-overlay

Packages that don't naturally fit in to my other themed overlays.

If you find any problems with ebuilds in this overlay either drop me an email or file an issue. Locally bugs are managed with ditz, so if you're working with a clone of the repository you can report, list and fix bugs using dev-util/ditz.

layman integration

If you use layman to sync your repositories you can simply add this repository to the supported list. Add the file support/layman.xml 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-misc/support/layman.xml

Then you can add the overlay using layman:

# layman -a jnrowe-misc

To sync the repository you can use layman directly, either syncing just this overlay or all your overlays at once:

# layman -s jnrowe-misc # Sync just jnrowe-misc
# 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-misc" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # Sync just jnrowe-misc
# echo "*" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # or sync all layman managed overlays

Finally, use eix-sync to update the specified repositories and eix package database.
