[DEAD] [devnull overlay] scm-packages (-9999) and more

Project is dead!

devnull overlay - For your bleeding edge gentoo desktop.

The devnull overlay provides scm-ebuilds (svn, cvs, git, hg) and snapshot-ebuilds for several packages in or not in portage.
It's not a pure overlay for scm-packages though, there are also ebuilds of packages who are not in portage like more recent versions and patched ones (like ubuntu or cleartype patchsets for font ebuilds).

Note: The scm-packages are masked per package.mask, you need to unmask them like "=cat/pkg-9999*" in /etc/portage/package.mask or /etc/paludis/package_mask.conf.
This is because the most people don't want the live version of all packages we have in our repo.

Support for font related ebuilds (cairo, fontconfig, freetype, libXft and poppler-glib) is provided in this thread, for all other stuff post here.

A list of all packages in the overlay can be found here: http://gentoo-overlays.zugaina.org/devnull/

Ohloh page: https://www.ohloh.net/p/devnull-overlay

Patches and suggestions are welcome. If you have a ebuild for some package and you want to see it in this repo, just post in this thread. Non-scm-packages are welcome too.

Are you interested in a fvwm-live ebuild?

It has also some patches, but all of them are optional, and configurable via use flags.

I added overlay-live to ebuildfind you browser it (even though svn browser is rather fast and good) and search/find !

I just made a screen-live ebuild. I had to redo some of the patches, and probably this needs more testing, since I can't test all of them. However, it now works in amd64. Tomorrow I can try x86. In the cvs version of screen you can split your terminals vertically, which is impossible if you use unpatched stable versions.

It's a *bit* late right now and there is no one in #live-ebuilds. I will try to contact tomorrow, you can test the ebuilds in the while when you wake up

You can also add it to the svn yourself if you wish.

I also submitted an update for fvwm yesterday. There has been a lot of movement on its cvs repos lately and r16 would not compile anymore with the old patchset, so I also updated that.

Latest news:

- Added screen cvs ebild aka app-misc/screen-live
- Some things have been updated.
- The IRC channel of live-ebuilds is now #/dev/null at Rizon.
- Switched the SVN browser design to simple so you are able to browse it with konqueror as well.

Hey, I just reminded: are the issues with the screen-live ebuild fixed finally? Did my latest commit fix it?

Are there any advantages in using mplayer-live?

Are you interested in games? I maintain a live ebuild for widelands.
Normal release are in games-strategy in portage.
My own ebuild is downloadable from the widelands website here.
I am afraid I don't do irc.

Where's the overlay? Still at the location mentioned on the first post? I can't seem to access it (no layman here, I am a paludis user). Thanks

I'm using the devnull overlay for more recent nvidia-drivers that work with kernel 2.6.25. I could emerge nvidia-drivers-173.08 without problems from the overlay, but since a few days portage wants to downgrade to its own version:
