Personal Gentoo overlay, focusing mostly on needed tools and compatibility for the Librem 14 computer.

Using the Linux Libre Kernel with Gentoo

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.

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 the Librem EC ACPI kernel module

The Librem EC ACPI kernel module should install and be autoamtically availlable (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.
