/winny-overlay

winny's Portage overlay (for Gentoo)

Primary LanguageShell

winny Portage Overlay

Just some ebuilds that aren’t working elsewhere, or are not available elsewhere. Expect little to no testing.

Add with:

layman -a winny

How to use an overlay with “little to no testing”?

After adding the overlay with layman -a winny you should mask all ebuilds, and only unmask what you intend on using. I personally use this technique for all unofficial overlays.

/etc/portage/package.mask/overlays

*/*::winny

/etc/portage/package.unmask/overlays

net-misc/sacc::winny
media-sound/mpvc::winny

Alternative: emerge -a category/name by default will ask if you would like to unmask all necessary package atoms to install category/name. Use dispatch-conf as usual ;). You may want to edit the resulting unmasks to not specify package atom versions.

Some ebuilds in this overlay

net-im/ripcord-bin

The Ripcord chat client for Discord and Slack.

net-im/chatty-bin

Chat client for Twitch.

media-fonts/go

One of the best fonts for programming.

net-misc/sacc

Simple gopher client.

x11-misc/xbanish

Banish the mouse when not in use.

dev-scheme/racket

I’m a big fan of Racket, so I always want the latest release.

And many more…

Ebuilds will be removed from tree as I get stuff merged back into the original ebuild repositories.
