4 Hello everyone,
5
6 In preparation for the next layman release, the overlay at g.o.g.o has
7 been updated with my latest commits. Along with that includes an updated
8 9999 ebuild to reflect those new features.
9
10 Just some of the features include:
11 * The ability to disable/enable an overlay, making the ebuilds in the
12 overlay
13 unnoticeable to portage.
14 * Modular overlay types: when compiling layman you will no longer have to
15 bring in code for overlay support that you didn't enable
16 explicitly via your
17 USE flags.
18 * Squashfs overlay support: layman can now mount squashfs images onto
19 you local FS read-only.
20 * layman-mounter utility script to handle mounting/unmounting any
21 mountable
22 overlay types.
23 * layman-overlay-maker utility script to assist users in creating
24 overlay definitions.
25
26 and more! Check the man page for all new changes.
27
28 It is my hope that you guys will be willing to test out the live ebuild
29 for us to help us get feedback to shake out as many bugs as possible
30 before our next release.

32 With regards,
