This page intends to get your local overlay going, show how to revision bump a package, and sync your goodies to github.
page is incomplete, yell @ Threesixes (talk) in irc to finish it. moving it over from forums because it's completely unreadable there.
root # mkdir /var/overlay
Change the /var/overlay user and group to your own, everyone has the root user, and root group, so we'll use root for the example, though it should be changed to the primary unprivileged account used to edit the ebuilds. Clone the skeleton from github. Change the repo name from skeleton to your own repo name as you want to see it when emerging.
root # chown root:root /var/overlay && cd /var/overlay root # git clone http://git.funtoo.org/skeleton-overlay/ local && cd local echo "myoverlayname" > /var/overlay/local/profiles/repo_name
Change the readme message to what you want to show up on the front page of your repo:
/var/overlay/local/README.rst - Set the github front page messageThis overlay is from so and so funtoo user. Order a $15/month container today @ funtoo.org
Insert portage structure category & package directories. For example i want to fix compiz fusion to include an old ebuild of the 0.8.8 series, i would mkdir -p /var/overlay/local/x11-wm/compiz-fusion then copy the ebuild i found online to the directory. /var/overlay/local/x11-wm/compiz-fusion/compiz-fusion-0.8.8.ebuild is where the ebuild would sit.
root # mkdir -p /var/overlay/local/cat-egory/package root # mv package.ebuild /var/overlay/local/cat-egory/package/package.ebuild
Add your overlay to make.conf:
/etc/portage/make.conf - Insert the local overlayPORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/overlay/local"
below not finished
mv Manifest /home/overlays/local/cat-egory/package/ cp package-version.ebuild package-newversion.ebuild wget package-newversion.tar.gz -O /usr/portage/distfiles/package-newversion.tar.bz2 ebuild *.ebuild manifest
to git up your repository to push to github: make ssh keys and upload them to github or else entering your password will get very old very quick. cd /home/overlays/local git init git add . git commit -m 'First commit' git remote add origin git@github.com:666threesixes666/tripsix.git git remote set-url origin git@github.com:666threesixes666/tripsix.git git remote -v git push origin master
- subsequent updates
git add . && git commit -m 'updates' && git push origin master
