Ineluctable Overlay
Ineluctable Overlay offers a repository of Gentoo ebuilds maintained by me for projects that are not yet available through the Portage tree.
Managing This Overlay
This section will show you how to install the Ineluctable Overlay into your Gentoo system, hence the following instructions assume a certain level of expertise using Portage and layman.
Disclaimer
Keep in mind that this overlay provides packages that differ from the ones in the Portage tree.
If you do have troubles with an ebuild provided by this overlay, please take it up with the ebuild provider (the owner of this GitHub account) and not with the official Gentoo's developers. In short, in case of issues, please DO NOT report bugs at bugs.gentoo.org for these ebuilds.
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, then you are ready to add this overlay by fetching its remote list as showed below:
wget -q -O /etc/layman/overlays/ineluctable-overlay.xml https://raw.github.com/Dr-Terrible/ineluctable-overlay/master/overlay.xml
At this point you can execute:
layman -Lk
layman -a ineluctable-overlay
Updating the overlay
Keep the overlay up to date with:
layman -s ineluctable-overlay
Removing the overlay
The process of removing this overlay from your Gentoo environment is quite straightforward:
layman -d ineluctable-overlay
rm -r /etc/layman/overlays/ineluctable-overlay.xml
