deftera overlay

Personal Gentoo overlay maintained by @Deftera186, packaging a small set of desktop applications, game utilities and proprietary clients that are not (yet) in the main ::gentoo tree.

Listed in the official Gentoo overlays database as deftera.

Status

• Quality: experimental — best-effort, no warranty.
• Architectures: ~amd64 only.
• Masters: gentoo. Some packages additionally depend on the ::guru overlay (notably sys-apps/pnpm-bin); enable ::guru if you intend to build any source-based ebuild here.

Installation

Using eselect-repository (recommended)

The overlay is listed in the official Gentoo overlays database, so it can be added by name:

sudo emerge --ask app-eselect/eselect-repository
sudo eselect repository enable deftera
sudo emaint sync --repo deftera

Using layman (legacy)

layman is deprecated upstream in favour of eselect-repository, but still works:

sudo layman -a deftera

Manual

sudo mkdir -p /var/db/repos/deftera
