src_prepare Gentoo overlay

This is the overlay of our Telegram group where we talk about topics related to Gentoo (development, maintainance, mistakes, community).

WARNING: Do not expect high quality ebuilds! While we do the best we can, most of us are still learning.

A quick guide on how to test ebuilds will follow.

Why create this overlay?

Mostly to have fun.

"My primary goal was to have all the ebuilds for small things for desktop "ricing" and weird ones that would not fit into the main overlay." ~XGQT

Adding the overlay
