[gentoo-dev] g-elisp repository helper

[Jauhien Piatlicki]

Hi all,
I do not know whether this list is an appropriate place, so sorry if it
is not )

Recently I've wrote some little scripts that implement interface for
g-common type repositories of layman[1]. And I would ask those who is
interested to test them.

I've created two packages: g-common (interacts with layman) and g-elisp
(generates ebuilds). g-elisp is aimed to automatically create layman
overlays for repositories of elisp packages supported by package.el, so
those packages could be installed by portage.

To test it you can add an overlay described by this xml-file:
https://github.com/jauhien/jauhien-overlay/blob/master/jauhien-overlay.xml
and then `emerge g-elisp`

After emerging it you will be able to add two layman repositories of
type g-common: gnu-elpa and marmalade.

g-common and g-elisp are still in the very beta, also I'm a very
beginner in python, so I will appreciate any feedback and criticism.
