Hello, I've created an overlay (https://github.com/foux/fouxlay) containing Plex media server and Plex home theater, and I'd like to add it to the layman list. Thanks

Here are some tips for your overlay: Keeping your overlay healthy ---------------------------- A few rules of thumb help to keep your overlay most useful to you and others: - If you package newer versions of software that is packaged in Gentoo already, try to get the version in Gentoo updated, too. (If there is no bump request on https://bugs.gentoo.org/ please file one and share patches you may have produced.) - If you apply custom patches make sure that you never use the very same revision that is used in Gentoo, e.g. if you use the ebuild of app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6-r3 do not call it app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6-r3 in your overlay to avoid confusion. A tool called "overlint" can support you with that process: # sudo emerge -av app-portage/overlint For a quick introduction to overlint see http://blog.hartwork.org/?p=1667 .
