Personal Portage Overlay for Gentoo Linux based systems.

Note

Currently, it's a boilerplate repository.

Using This Repository

There are many ways to use this repository. The following are two methods:

Local Repository

For the local repository method, create a /etc/portage/repos.conf/tanvir file and add the following:

[tanvir]
priority = 10
location = /var/db/repos/tanvir
sync-type = git
sync-uri = git://github.com/tanvir/portage-overlay.git
auto-sync = Yes

Then run <superuser> emerge --sync tanvir. Portage should now find and update the repository.

Layman

You can also use the Layman tool to add and sync the repository. Execute the following:

<superuser> layman -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanvir/portage-overlay/dev/repository.xml -f -a tanvir
