Installation

Primary Method: Using eselect repository

1. Add the repository using eselect:

eselect repository add oululinux git https://github.com/oululinux/gentoo-overlay.git

2. Sync the new overlay:

emaint sync -r oululinux

3. Install a package, for example:

emerge --ask dev-cpp/upp

Alternative Method: Manual Configuration

If you prefer to manually configure the repository, follow these steps:

1. Create the overlay definition /etc/portage/repos.conf/oululinux.conf (or any file under repos.conf).
2. Add the following repository configuration:

[oululinux]
location = /var/db/repos/oululinux
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/oululinux/gentoo-overlay.git

3. Sync the new overlay:

emaint sync -r oululinux

If you already have /home/sblo/gentoo-overlay checked out locally and prefer to use it directly rather than syncing, point Portage at that path and tell it not to sync. For example, in /etc/portage/repos.conf/oululinux.conf use:

[oululinux]
location = /home/sblo/gentoo-overlay
sync-type = none

Portage 3.0 and later no longer accept sync-type = none. To keep using the local checkout without syncing, either add the overlay path to PORTDIR_OVERLAY or configure the repo with a supported sync type such as git (and a matching sync-uri, e.g. https://github.com/oululinux/gentoo-overlay.git).
