Info

This layman overlay for gentoo linux contains some packages I use myself and are missing/outdated in the portage tree.

Examples / Highlights:

• seafile with apache and seahub support (!)
• Tine20 (!)
• gitflow (!)
• prosody with sasl support

Issues

If you have issues just open an issue here.

Known Issues:

seafile

For webdav support you have to copy some contents from the binary distribution file to your installation dir. I use the following setup (only required for webdav support):

# Create symbolic links:
/var/lib/seafile/default/seafile-server/seahub/thirdpart/seafobj -> /var/lib/seafile/seafobj/seafobj
/var/lib/seafile/default/seafile-server/seahub/thirdpart/wsgidav -> /var/lib/seafile/seafobj/wsgidav
# And clone seafdav and seafobj
cd /var/lib/seafile
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/seafdav.git
git checkout v3.1.7-server # use the current version
cd /var/lib/seafile
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/seafobj.git #
git checkout v3.1.7-server # use the current version

You also have to edit the /var/lib/seafile/default/seafile-server/seafile.sh file (always required):

And you should edit the /etc/init.d/seafile-server/config file to your needs. Note that those changes are gone after re-installation, so make sure to make copies!

Installation

Follow http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/TIP_Sync_your_private_overlay. Basically all you have to do is to add https://raw.github.com/matthid/gentoo-overlay/master/repositories.xml to your overlays in /etc/layman/layman.cfg:

/etc/layman/layman.cfg

overlays  : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
            https://raw.github.com/matthid/gentoo-overlay/master/repositories.xml

Now just execute:

layman -S
layman -a dragon

You probably need to add other overlays if you get missing ebuild errors (like rion).
