An overlay for Gentoo, with various packages used and/or maintained by 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, use the Gentoo Science instead.
As per the current Portage specifications, 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 create an /etc/portage/repos.conf/chymeric file containing precisely:
[chymeric]
location = /usr/local/portage/chymeric
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/TheChymera/gentoo-overlay.git
priority=8889
Afterwards, simply run emerge --sync, and Portage should seamlessly make all our ebuilds available.
Many of our packages are available as live (*-9999) ebuilds, and also need manual unmasking in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords before they can be emerged.
