projectmoon-overlay/README.md

Personal Gentoo overlay, focusing mostly on needed tools and
compatibility for a libre version of Gentoo on the Librem 14 computer. A
handful of other pacakages are also provided.

Linux-libre and Librem-related packages:
 - **sys-kernel/libre-kernel**: A dist-kernel built from the [Linux-libre
   sources][linux-libre].
 - **media-fonts/fonts-meta**: Modified version to remove non-Free
   fonts from the dependencies.
 - **sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi**: An ebuild packaging the [Librem 14
    EC ACPI kernel module][ec-acpi], necessary for proper functioning
	of the laptop's battery charging and function keys.
 * **sys-power/librem-control**: A GTK application to control
   parameters of the Librem EC (battery charge levels, etc).
 * **sys-apps/purism_ectool**: Tool for querying and flashing
   Purism EC firmware images on certain Librem laptops.v

Other Packages:
  - **dev-python/ecp**: Python implementation of Emacs RPC stack. Depends
	on `orjson` or `orjson-bin` from the GURU (or another) overlay.
  - **www-plugins/firefox-pwa-connector**: The native host connector for
    the [PWAs for Firefox][ff-pwas] project.

## How to Add This Repository

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
`package.accept_keywords` if necessary). For instructions on unmasking
individual packages, see the relevant documentation below.

## The Linux-libre dist-kernel

*See [docs/Libre-Kernel.md](docs/Libre-Kernel.md).*

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
kernel removes the ability for the Linux kernel to load firmware that is
not [Free Software][free-software]. The ebuild roughly follows the
current stable gentoo-kernel for amd64.

## Purism Librem Computer Packages

*See [docs/Librem.md](docs/Librem.md).*

This overlay contains packages for Purism's Librem computers, focusing
mostly on the Librem 14.

## Other Packages

*More documentation coming soon.*

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.
