Did you know: We Git-host Gentoo user overlays! 2010-04-12
Your Gentoo overlay hosted on Gentoo machines like this one – wouldn’t that be sexy?
Just send a mail to overlays@gentoo.org providing
- Overlay Name (matching "^user/[A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$")
- An extra-short description
- Owner name and e-mail (that’s you)
- SSH pubkey you’ll be pushing with
That’s it. Once you’re running we can get you into the layman registry, too.

For Gentoo developers only, I presume?
No, I said “Gentoo user overlays”
If you want your overlay hosted, just contact us.
….since when? What brought this about?
Last I checked the only user hosting we had was Sunrise.
Which Gentoo box is this on?
Is it also possible to have an overlays for OSS projects? Should these also match “^user/[A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$” ? Can we have multiple users pushing to one overlay? Thanks.
Hmm, just a few days ago I read contrary information on http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml :
It’d be great if someone authorized to do so would update this.
Q: Do you host overlays for users?
* A: No, we do not. If you want an overlay of your own on (git.)overlays.gentoo.org, you must first become a Gentoo developer.
rumpelstilzchen, thanks for reporting. fixed.
I already have an overlay which is hosted on github. Can this overlay get into the layman registry?
