<p>I find myself having to create a local overlay to test/develop a new ebuild
|
|
without affecting my main system from time to time. I usually fire up a clean
|
|
kvm Gentoo guest to start working on, but I've usually forgotten the proceedure</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a quick instruction on a straight-forward local overlay</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Create the local path tree where the overlay will reside:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/overlay/{metadata,profiles}
|
|
</code></pre></li>
|
|
<li><p>Create the <code>layout.conf</code> file and <code>repo_name</code> file</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>cd /usr/local/portage/overlay
|
|
echo "masters = gentoo" > metadata/layout.conf
|
|
echo "$(hostname)" > profiles/repo_name
|
|
</code></pre></li>
|
|
<li><p>Create a repos.conf file:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>cat <<EOF>/etc/portage/repos.conf/$(hostname).conf
|
|
[$(hostname)]
|
|
location = /usr/local/portage/overlay
|
|
auto-sync = no
|
|
priority = 10
|
|
EOF
|
|
</code></pre></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>done.</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now you can begin to populate the local repo with custom ebuilds. I usually do
|
|
this and then upload my new ebuild to my <a href="https://github.com/zigford/gentoo-zigford">github</a> repository.</p>
