Adding the bubba overlay to your gentoo‐on‐b3

Adding the bubba overlay to your gentoo-on-b3

As of version >=2.2.16 of Portage, my Gentoo port of the Bubba OS for the B3 is best installed via the new plug-in sync system.

First, create a custom /etc/portage/repos.conf entry for the bubba overlay, so Portage knows what to do. Make sure that /etc/portage/repos.conf exists, and is a directory. Then, fire up your favourite editor:

gentoo_pc ~ # nano -w /etc/portage/repos.conf/bubba.conf

and put the following text in the file:

[bubba]
 
# Bubba B3 overlay for Gentoo
# Maintainer: Gordon Bos
 
location = /usr/local/portage/bubba
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gordonb3/bubba-overlay.git
priority = 50
auto-sync = yes

Then run:

b3 ~ # emaint sync --repo bubba

If you are running on the stable branch by default, allow ~arm keyword files from this repository. To do so, make sure that /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords exists, and is a directory. Then issue: e.g.:

b3 ~ # echo '*/*::bubba ~arm' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/bubba-repo

That's it. You can now start installing packages from the bubba overlay.
