Bug 575224 – I'd like to add my overlay overlays.gentoo.org

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

Hello Gentoo community.  I'd like to add my overlay.  I need some guidance on how to do so.

Are you requesting git hosting for a repository or adding an existing repository to the official list?

[Comment 2 dsreyes1014 2016-02-20 16:08:15 UTC]

I'm adding an existing repo I have on gitlab.

First of all, we need a link to it ;-).

If you have some kind of .xml for it already, it would be useful. Otherwise, don't create it, just provide us with a short description for it (it goes into second column of [1]).

Also, note the following:

1. we'll use whatever name is in profiles/repo_name, so change it if you want to use another one,

2. you need to specify appropriate 'masters =' in metadata/layout.conf (usually masters = gentoo),

3. we'll use your bugzilla e-mail address for contact. Please also provide us with your real name or nickname to put in the third column of [1].

The link to it is at:

https://gitlab.com/dsreyes1014/dsr-overlay.git

And I do have a .xml file.

metadata/layout.conf is already in the repo and set with 'masters=gentoo'

Thanks. Added from your XML, though I added some random description to avoid something choking at lack of it. Should appear online in a few minutes.
