In the past we have had many ways for users to publish their work as overlays. I'm going the GIT route for my user overlays :: [1] although this site only briefly mentions user-overlays. Since the GIT migrations, some gentoo wiki docs still need to be cleaned up a bit and fluffed out with more info and a clean itemization of how and where users should put their ebuilds and codes. I'm also looking around for a sexy front end (blog, wordpress etc that is easy to install/maintain, complete with links to the various git repositories where I put code. I guess I just have to make a decision on that:: so I can pretend to be 'cool'....... > I tend to look out for "quality" (or lack of) 3rd-party ebuilds by > running repoman over them. "Stale Overlays" are pretty > easy to spot as well... Good idea! I use repoman extensively on my ebuild hacks. I just never thought of it as a quick_checker for overlays ... a really good idea. I guess I subliminally minimize the use of repoman, because when I run it on my codes/builds it usually sinks quite a bit of time... subsequently. Thanks Alan and Bob....
