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:
|
|
- **x11-misc/input-leap**: Updated ebuild of input-leap
|
|
(Barrier/Synergy virtual KVM switch fork) that supports Wayland via
|
|
`libei`.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
*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.
