1 Greetings,
2
3 recently I received an "*.ebuild" file for a little piece of software I
4 need. However, trying to find instructions in the Gentoo wiki regarding
5 the creation of a local overlay utilizing this ebuild file up to now on-
6 ly revealed confusing and/or outdated information.
7
8 Could anybody point me to some up-to-date guide explaining how to create
9 a local overlay which just utilizes this ebuild file and the external
10 Git repository specified within it?
11
12 Sincerely,
13 Rainer
