How To Use This Overlay

1. Install layman

$ echo "app-portage/layman git" >> $EPREFIX/etc/portage/package.use
$ emerge layman

1. Edit $EPREFIX/etc/layman/layman.cfg. Add a line after

overlays   : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml

so that it becomes

overlays   : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
             file://$EPREFIX/var/lib/layman/my-list.xml

Replace `$EPREFIX` with your prefix installation path.

            src="git://github.com/hongqn/hongqn-gentoo-overlay.git"
