Gentoo has, is and will be the distribution of our choice. As it is with every love, nothing is perfect. So is Gentoo. We miss several recent packages or need to have our own.

Therefore, we created our own Layman overlay. That's a thing we were thinking of for a long time and now there was a good chance to play around.

Okay, here's what you should do in order to use the overlay:

• edit your local layman overlay file (e.g. /usr/portage/local/layman/cache_65bd38402ac8431067b54904bd2ed2d1.xml)
• add the following before the </layman> line:

   <overlay
    contact="direktion@informations-compagnie.de"
    name="siczb"
    src="http://dev.informations-compagnie.de/svn/gentoo"
    status="unofficial"
    type="svn">
    <link>http://dev.informations-compagnie.de/svn/gentoo</link>
    <description>
     Additional packages by saechsische Informations-Compagnie zu Berlin
    </description>
   </overlay>
  

• do a simple layman -a siczb to add our repo to your portage tree

Notice: We do not grant for anything. So don’t blame us if your box suddenly starts burning.
