Hello,

Since you are using a Github repo as your overlay, it's not necessary.
I just added your repo to layman's repositories list.

Some tips about 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 .
