# src_prepare Gentoo overlay
# About This is the overlay of our Matrix group where we talk about topics related to Gentoo (development, maintainance, support, communities and more). **WARNING: Do not expect high quality ebuilds!** While we do the best we can, most of us are still learning. Read [WARNING.md](./WARNING.md) for more information. ## Why create this overlay? Mostly to have fun. ## For whom? src_prepare overlay is based on the concept of the [GURU](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU) project: to create a repository maintained collaboratively by Gentoo users, for Gentoo users. Despite being based on the concept of the GURU project, src_prepare has different goals in mind: - main git repository is hosted on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/src_prepare/src_prepare-overlay), with mirrors set to [GitHub](https://github.com/xgqt/src_prepare-overlay) and [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/src_prepare/src_prepare-overlay); - easier for one to get access to the `master` branch; - main contact with the src_prepare project is via [[matrix]](https://matrix.to/#/#src_prepare:matrix.org); - more freedom in creating ebuilds; - no requirement for GPG keys; - no requirement for private info. The src_prepare project doesn't want to overtake or compete with the GURU project. The GURU project is aimed on professionalism and quality, whereas src_prepare is aimed on openness and ease of access. ## Adding the overlay ### Official list #### Layman If you are using [Layman](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman), execute: ``` sh layman -a src_prepare-overlay ``` #### eselect-repository If you are using [eselect-repository](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eselect/Repository), execute: ``` sh eselect repository enable src_prepare-overlay ``` ### Manual If you want to manually add the overlay, see [examples/repos.conf/src_prepare-overlay.conf](examples/repos.conf/src_prepare-overlay.conf). #### Layman If you are using [Layman](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman), execute: ``` sh layman -o 'https://gitlab.com/src_prepare/src_prepare-overlay/raw/master/repositories.xml' -f -a src_prepare-overlay ``` #### eselect-repository If you are using [eselect-repository](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eselect/Repository), execute: ``` sh eselect repository add src_prepare-overlay git https://gitlab.com/src_prepare/src_prepare-overlay ``` ## How do I sync this? Execute: ``` sh emaint sync -r src_prepare-overlay ``` ## It says the ebuild is masked, what do I do?
