The overlay is used for user-controlled portage trees. By default, |
| 17 |
there is no overlay defined, you'll need to uncomment PORTDIR_OVERLAY |
| 18 |
in /etc/make.conf. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Make the directory, which the commented default is /usr/local/portage |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You need to make the directory structure in the overlay so it's just |
| 23 |
like in the standard portage directory. If you want to add virtual/foo |
| 24 |
to your overlay in /usr/local/portage, you'd make the directory |
| 25 |
/usr/local/portage/virtual. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Then, I do the easy way, which is 'cp -a /usr/portage/virtual/foo |
| 28 |
/usr/local/portage/virtual'. This copies the full directory tree of |
| 29 |
foo to the overlay. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Then, edit the ebuild you want to add a new keyword to. If I wanted to |
| 32 |
add the sparc keyword to foo-1.0, I'd edit that ebuild, and then add |
| 33 |
'sparc' to the KEYWORDS="" section. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
After you've added the keyword, do 'ebuild foo-1.0.ebuild digest' to |
| 36 |
update the digest with the updated ebuild. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
You can now go ahead and emerge that version of the package. |
