Hi All,
I'd like to add an overlay that is not in the gentoo list. :
| Code: | | https://github.com/l29ah/booboo |
but I'm failing to find the docs I need. It may be temporary blindness. I've read the layman man page, the overlay user and dev guides.
The dev has listed a configs for layman here but I don't know where to put this:
| Code: | | https://github.com/l29ah/booboo/wiki/Config-for-layman |

Save the content of the page as an xml file somewhere, e.g. /etc/local/layman/booboo.xml, modify layman's config file: /etc/layman/layman.cfg
In the section "overlays" just add a line similar to the one in the example:
| Code: |
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
file:///etc/local/layman/booboo.xml
|
Then normally add the overlay:
(or maybe you'd need to do layman -S first, I'm not sure) |

Thanks very much! That works great.
I did find this archived wiki page which among other things documents the steps you provided but you beat me to it providing the update to the forum!
