/portage-stable

unmodified ebuilds mirrored from the portage tree

Primary LanguageShell

This overlay contains curated unmodified Gentoo packages that are part of the CoreOS build and are exact copies of upstream Gentoo packages.

Use src/scripts/update_ebuilds to fetch the latest copy from Gentoo:

cd ~/trunk/src/scripts
repo start update-foo ../third-party/portage-stable
./update_ebuilds --commit app-fun/foo

Note: update_ebuilds can fetch from either Gentoo's anonymous CVS or Rsync services, both of which will ban users making excessive requests. If you have a lot of related packages to update or just aren't quite sure what you are getting into please pull down a local copy to work from:

rsync -rtlv rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage ~/gentoo-portage
./update_ebuilds --commit --portage ~/gentoo-portage app-fun/foo

Licensing information can be found in the respective files, so consult them directly. Most ebuilds are licensed under the GPL version 2.
