Hi,

this is not really a shorewall or shorewall-nft question, but rather a
Gentoo question, so it might be better suited for the Gentoo forums.

Some advice:
Here's the direct link to the Gentoo handbook on how to create a local
repository:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/CustomTree#Creating_a_custom_ebuild_repository
This will also create the necessary masters attribute.

For using this repository, please also take note of the necessary steps
when adding an ebuild there:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Creating_an_ebuild_repository#Adding_an_ebuild_to_an_ebuild_repository

This should be sufficient to get you going. Of course, it might be useful
to have shorewall-nft inside an overlay (e.g. Gentoo GURU) at some point in
case someone has the time to maintain it there, then adding this overlay
will be sufficient without creating a local repository.

Cheers,
Oliver
