I have submitted a request for a gentoo overlay which has been added to layman. Can't find it liste, don't know where or how to start setting it up. I think the std gentoo overlay is a git 1. the title set was idella4/improvise
let me quote myself from IRC: you first have to accept the terms (by doing your first push), then tell the overlay team, that you did the push and would like the addition to layman ;)
Actually, your overlay *is* in layman. If # layman -i improvise doesn't work try # sudo layman -f # layman -i improvise That should do the trick.
figured it with help in #gentoo-overlays, some agreement re the instructs on the gentoo page needs some revision updating. I was completely confused by the use of user/<new_name>, fully expecting <user> need be replaced with my username. Wonder if it's just me. anyway it's done
