Layman Overlay

My Overlay

My overlay has been available via subversion for quite some time now, but not in any easy to use format (integration with layman).  Getting this overlay to work with yours must have been a pain if you wanted to try something I had been working on.

Making My Overlay Available

The first thing I had to do to make my overlay talk with layman let alone get along with layman was add an xml definition of the overlay somewhere.  I chose the easy to manipulate path of http://www.alunduil.com/svn/portage/trunk/portage/alunduil-overlay.xml.

Adding My Overlay List to Your Layman

To add my overlay(s) to your layman list simply add the following path to your overlays variable in /etc/layman/layman.cfg: http://www.alunduil.com/svn/portage/trunk/portage/alunduil-overlay.xml.
