## Using the Linux Libre Kernel with Gentoo Available packages:
- **dev-util/rust-analyzer-bin**: A properly versioned ebuild of
rust-analyzer-bin.
- **sys-kernel/gnu-sources:** An analog to gentoo-sources that tracks
the sources of the [Linux-libre kernel][linux-libre]. An updated
version of `virtual/linux-sources` also accompanies this package.
- **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.
The sys-kernel/gnu-sources package (and in earlier versions, sys-kernel/libre-sources) tracks the current stable gentoo-sources version for the amd64 architecture. To use it, make sure sys-kernel/gnu-sources is unmasked and accepted, along with the virtual/linux-sources package in this overlay. Then `emerge sys-kernel/gnu-sources`. ## How to Add This Repository
The Linux Libre sources operate like any other kernel sources package in Gentoo, so to use it, you will need to set your kernel to it with `eselect kernel`, and then build and install it with `genkernel` or manual kernel compilation. Using eselect-repository:
```
# eselect repository add projectmoon git https://git.agnos.is/projectmoon/projectmoon-overlay
```
## Using the Linux-libre Kernel with Gentoo
The `sys-kernel/gnu-sources` package tracks the current stable
gentoo-sources version for the amd64 architecture. To use it, make
sure both `sys-kernel/gnu-sources` and `virtual/linux-sources` from
the overlay are unmasked and accepted. Then `emerge
sys-kernel/gnu-sources`.
The Linux-libre sources operate like any other kernel source package
in Gentoo. To use it, you must mark it as the selected kernel with
`eselect kernel`, and then build and install it with `genkernel` or
manual kernel compilation.
## Using the Librem EC ACPI kernel module ## Using the Librem EC ACPI kernel module
The Librem EC ACPI kernel module should install and be automatically availlable (via modprobe) after installation, using `emerge sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi`. The module is currently installed to `/lib/modules/<kernel>/librem/`. The Librem EC ACPI kernel module should install and be automatically
available (via modprobe) after installation, using `emerge
sys-kernel/librem-ec-acpi`. The module is currently installed to
`/lib/modules/<kernel>/librem/`.
When upgrading or installing a new kernel, you will need to do `emerge @modules-rebuild` to install the module for the new kernel. When upgrading or installing a new kernel, you will need to do `emerge
@modules-rebuild` to install the module for the new kernel.
