Your dev overlay "sera" is almost ready.
Please read (all of) this guide to get it to work.

If you have any question we'll be here to help.


In this Guide
=============
- The Initial Push
- After That
  - Online Browsing
  - Getting into Layman


The Initial Push
================

First, before anybody can clone from your overlay an initial push is needed.

0) If you start with an empty repository be sure to setup your identity:

     # git init
     # git config user.name 'first last'
     # git config user.email foo@example.org
     [..]

1) Once you have ebuilds in there please set profiles/repo_name to
   'sera' in order to make it a valid overlay.

     # mkdir profiles
     # echo "sera" > profiles/repo_name
     # git add profiles/repo_name
     # git commit

2) Now you are ready to push.  Proposed way of doing is this:

     # git remote add overlays-gentoo-org \
           git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/sera.git
     # git push overlays-gentoo-org master


After That
==========

Online Browsing
---------------
After the inital push you can browse your overlay online at:
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=dev/sera.git;a=summary


Getting into Layman
-------------------
We have scripts to get hosted overlay into Layman easily: no need to write XML on your end.  Just let us know that you did complete the procedure from "The Initial Push" to get added.

Once it's in the Layman registry its content will be indexed at http://gpo.zugaina.org/, too.

EDIT: Just added you to layman, already.
