# Chymeric Gentoo Overlay

An overlay for Gentoo, with various packages used and/or maintained by [TheChymera](https://github.com/TheChymera).

A number of the ebuilds available from this overlay are regularly copied from external sources (see respective commit mesages), and thus have a different maintainer.

If you are looking for the neuroscience software packages maintained by [TheChymera](https://github.com/TheChymera), and are not interested in the absolutely newest versions, use the [Gentoo Science](https://github.com/gentoo/sci) overlay instead.

## Install

As per the [current Portage specifications](https://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/man/portage.5.html), overlays should be managed via `/etc/portage/repos.conf/`.

To enable this overlay make sure you are using a recent Portage version (at least `2.2.14`), and download our `.conf` file to the apropriate system directory (root access will likely be required):

```

mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheChymera/overlay/master/metadata/chymeric.conf -O /etc/portage/repos.conf/chymeric

```

Afterwards, simply run `emerge --sync`, and Portage should seamlessly make all our ebuilds available.

Some of our packages are available as live (`*-9999`) ebuilds, and if you wish to use this feature (only advisable if you are well-informed on the day-to-day development of the specific package) these versions can be manually unmasked on a case-by-case basis under `/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords`.
