/trolltoo

An ebuild overlay for Gentoo.

Primary LanguageShell

trolltoo

My personal ebuild overlay for Gentoo. It used to be much bigger; It may get a bit smaller.

Adding this overlay

This overlay is in the Gentoo repositories listing.

To add it to your system:

you@yourprompthere # eselect repository enable trolltoo
you@yourprompthere # emaint sync -r trolltoo

If you still use layman::

you@yourprompthere # layman -a trolltoo

Only unmask packages you use from this repository

You likely added this overlay to get a few specific packages, but you don't know what else may be in here, or may be added in the future. Best-practice (Based on Masking installed but unsafe ebuild repositories) is to only allow what you came here for:

In /etc/portage/package.mask/trolltoo, block all packages from this repository by default:

*/*::trolltoo

In /etc/portage/package.unmask/trolltoo, allow specific packages from this repository:

net-misc/gstm::trolltoo

They will likely also need to be added to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/, as well.
