Snapd Repository for Gentoo
I've been maintaining my personal Gentoo overlay for sometime with my own ebuild
of snapd. I've received a number of comments and questions about it, both via
email, twitter and on github.
---
I also want to have it added to the layman respositories so that others can use
it and maybe eventually contribute directly (or indirectly) to have it included
in the main Gentoo portage tree.
At any rate, I've spun the latest snapd ebuild off into a seperate [github
repo](https://github.com/zigford/snapd)
I've also learnt about using branches in an overlay so you can add the stable
branch and I can work on a testing snapd ebuild and have it sync to all my
machines for testing.
Adding the stable one:
layman -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zigford/snapd/master/overlay.xml -f -a snapd
or adding the dev one:
layman -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zigford/snapd/master/overlay.xml -f -a snapd-dev
You would need to install [layman](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman) to do
this.
