Install froxlor on Gentoo
1. Local portage overlay
1.1 Using layman >= 1.3.0
In order to install froxlor on Gentoo we need to add the layman repositories first. Assuming you have layman installed already, edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and add the following line to the overlays section:
https://files.froxlor.org/gentoo/repositories.xml
Then, let layman fetch (-f) our repository and add (-a) it to your local overlay:
layman -f && layman -a froxlor
1.2 Custom local overlay (no layman)
Create directory for your overlay:
mkdir -p /usr/local/overlays
Now clone our gentoo-ebuild overlay with GIT:
git clone https://github.com/froxlor/Gentoo-Ebuild.git /usr/local/overlays/froxlor
And finally, let your system know about your local overlay by adding the following line to your /etc/portage/make.conf
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/froxlor"
