This is a ebuild repository that is a Gentoo overlay. Could be both or either. I'm not sure.
Contains stuff I want as packages on a Gentoo Linux system.
Bug reports outside of Gentoo's Bugzilla and all patches are currently being
redirected to /dev/null as the infrastructure currently doesn't exist yet.
You can make a bug report on the Gentoo Bugzilla (requires account). The "Product" should be "Gentoo Linux" and the "Component" should be "Overlay", which are ensured with the link. Attachments can be added after submitting your bug report.
The summary should include "jacksonchen666" somewhere, like in a package
atom as ::jacksonchen666, or there should be something like
[jacksonchen666] prefixed, so bugs regarding this overlay can be easily
found.
Not guaranteed. Insert all the disclaimers here of course.
jacksonchen666's main Gentoo machine runs on x86_64/amd64, so packages will be less tested for arm64. Outside of that, there is no testing for architectures in x86_64/amd64 or arm64.
There may be attempts to follow Gentoo conventions for ebuilds and stuff, but that's also not guaranteed.
Packages will only have an unstable keyword if it has been vaguely tested on that architecture.
emerge --ask --noreplace app-eselect/eselect-repository dev-vcs/gitto get the program necessary to enable and sync the repository (see "Old manual setup instructions" if you don't wantapp-eselect/eselect-repository)- Add repository by running
eselect repository enable jacksonchen666 emerge --sync jacksonchen666(or useemaint) should get you up to date.
- (Maybe?) Read the "Old manual setup instructions" process (or ignore it and do a full clone, idk)
- Run
git remote set-url --push origin [email protected]:~jacksonchen666/gentoo-overlay(if you have push access to the repository, somehow) - Install
dev-util/pkgdevand preferpkgdev commitovergit commit - Do your work in
/var/db/repos/jacksonchen666/ - Maybe add
auto-sync = noto the/etc/portage/repos.conf/jacksonchen666.conffile
Put the following thing in /etc/portage/repos.conf/jacksonchen666.conf
[jacksonchen666]
location = /var/db/repos/jacksonchen666
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://git.sr.ht/~jacksonchen666/gentoo-overlay
priority = 100Then emerge --sync jacksonchen666 (or use emaint) should get you up to
date.
jacksonchen666 uses their Gentoo system with the systemd init system instead of the OpenRC init system. OpenRC will be sparsely tested.

About 50% of the ebuilds in this overlay (including different versions for the same atom/name) uses https://files.jacksonchen666.com/gentoo/ to fetch more sources in addition to upstream source code. This means the ability to download sources and compile packages depends on the self-hosted server of jacksonchen666.com, with its status being available at https://status.jacksonchen666.com.
Another dependency of "has to be online to work" is git.sr.ht for grabbing the ebuilds (although local copies are stored on your system). No mirrors of any kind currently exist.
Of course, there's also the source files themselves from anywhere, including code forges, mostly GitHub. There is also no mirroring of that, since this repository isn't the official Gentoo repository.
Pretty much everything is GPL-v2 here. Well, the ebuilds. Not the things it downloads or compiles or installs.
If you want to make your own ebuild repository (or contribute to this one, if contributions are open (it is not)), here's some helpful resources:
