handful of other pacakages are also provided.

## How to Add This Repository
2021-08-05 22:28:50 +00:00
2021-08-06 10:02:18 +00:00
Using eselect-repository:
```
# eselect repository add projectmoon git https://git.agnos.is/projectmoon/projectmoon-overlay
```
It usually a best practice to mask packages from overlays, except the ones you want:
In `/etc/portage/package.mask`:
```
*/*::projectmoon
```
Individual packages can be unmasked (and added to
2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00
`package.accept_keywords` if necessary). For instructions on unmasking
individual packages, see the relevant documentation below.

## The Linux-libre dist-kernel
2023-03-16 21:13:40 +00:00

This overlay provides a dist-kernel (based on
`sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel`) using the Linux-libre kernel sources, and
an accompanying updated version of `virtual/dist-kernel`. It is
maintained and tested for my personal use on amd64. The Linux-libre
2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00
kernel removes the ability for the Linux kernel to load firmware that is
not [Free Software][free-software]. The ebuild roughly follows the
2022-11-15 21:54:14 +00:00
current stable gentoo-kernel for amd64.

## Purism Librem Computer Packages
2021-08-05 22:28:50 +00:00
2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00

2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00
This overlay contains packages for Purism's Librem computers, focusing
mostly on the Librem 14.

## Input Leap
*See [docs/Input-Leap.md](docs/Input-Leap.md)*
This overlay contains a working, updated ebuild for Input Leap, a fork
of Barrier (itself a fork of Synergy), which is a "virtual KVM switch",
allowing you to share a keyboard and mouse between several computers
over the network.
The most important things about Input Leap:
- It is Maintained.
- It supports Wayland.

## Other Packages
2022-11-15 21:54:14 +00:00
2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00
*More documentation coming soon.*
2022-11-15 21:54:14 +00:00
2023-03-16 21:13:13 +00:00
Packages must be unmasked and added to `package.accept_keywords` as
necessary.

# Disclaimer
The ebuilds in this overlay are really only tested for my specific
use-case. I do not test every combination of USE flags, for example.
So there may be issues with non-Free dependencies etc in some cases.
