# 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.
