Description Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2017-02-10 20:23:27 UTC
Someone gave me a link earlier where it said to send email to overlays [ AT ] gentoo.org, so I did. Later on I found the "new way" to do it with a pull request.

My overlay includes random sets of ebuilds that are not in Gentoo's main portage tree, for example 
 - a Finnish spell checker for Libreoffice 
 - tool for downloading media files from the video streaming services of the Finnish national broadcasting company 
 - and few more

Every ebuild in there is in my personal use and working. pf-sources are copied from official tree, I just added UKSM patch into it. Vivaldi is also a straight copy from main tree, but I keep following the stable channel (that doesnt get updated in the main tree, only -snapshots). I can remove them if they are not okay.

I'll be doing the pull request now!

Do you have the old link? I am still fighting places where people spread wrong information.

Thanks, added now. Can take a while for the change to propagate.

Hey, 

thanks for resolving this. As for the answer, I asked about adding my own overlay to layman in #gentoo-chat and received the following link:
