# Linuxmonk Overlay

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ganto/linuxmonk-overlay.png)](https://travis-ci.org/ganto/linuxmonk-overlay)

This is a personal [Gentoo Portage Overlay](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay). It mostly contains ebuilds of applications and libraries that I am/was interested to try on one of my Gentoo boxes or that solve a particular issue with an upstream ebuild.

Feel free to use any ebuild for your own purpose, however I might not be able to help you with any problems, as I'm not regularly using most of the packaged applications. Still every ebuild published here is in a fully functional condition at the time of upload.

### Installing the overlay

In order to manage the overlay, the package **app-portage/layman** must be installed into your environment:

```

emerge -av app-portage/layman

```

If the installation of _layman_ was successfully completed, enable custom overlays by uncommenting the following line in `/etc/layman/layman.cfg`:

```

overlay_defs : /etc/layman/overlays

```

Add this overlay by fetching its remote list as showed below:

```

wget -O /etc/layman/overlays/linuxmonk-overlay.xml https://raw.github.com/ganto/linuxmonk-overlay/master/overlay.xml

```

At this point you can execute:

```

layman -a linuxmonk-overlay

```

Finally make sure that _emerge_ can find the ebuilds of the custom overlay:

```

echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/portage/make.conf

```

### Updating the overlay

Keep the overlay up to date with:

```

layman -s linuxmonk-overlay

```

### Removing the overlay

The process of removing this overlay from your Gentoo environment is quite straightforward:

```

layman -d linuxmonk-overlay

rm /etc/layman/overlays/linuxmonk-overlay.xml

```
