IMPORTANT NOTE: While this repository is here, I am doing also my best contribute changes to the official gentoo repository.
This is an overlay intended to be used in Gentoo.
I have done my best to adhere to Gentoo's best practices. However, there are a few things you should consider before you use this overlay:
- I did my best to test all ebuilds (with
repoman
and with installing them on my machine), but I could not possibly test all use flags.- I don't use systemd, hence I didn't test it
If you find this work useful, you can do one or more of the following:
- Install and use these packages. Give me usefull feedback.
- Star this repository.
- Tweeter me with a thank you.
- Donate me a humlbe sum of 2-5โฌ. (Donations should go to oz dot tiram at gmail dot com via Paypal), I'll mention you here for supporting my work.
- I added some other packages here which are not officially mate. These are packages which I see fit, and that belong IMHO to the mate eco-system (for example the mate-dock-applet).
-
I welcome anyone who wants to contribute, but ...
-
It's very hard to review a commit with many files changes. So, if you bump the version, please make a commit for each ebuild, instead of a large commit for all updated files.
-
Properly updating an ebuild isn't only changing the version number. One good way to notice changes in the build configuration is to look for changes in the file
configure.ac
. Check out the repository of the package you want to bump and do the following:
$ git diff v1.(N)..(N+1) -- configure.ac
where N+1
is the version you want to bump to and N
is the previous version.
Update the ebuild if the build requirements have changed.
