Welcome to AllenJB's Gentoo Overlay

Subversion URL:  https://svn.allenjb.me.uk/svn/overlay/

Layman XML config file entry:

        <overlay contact="overlay@allenjb.me.uk" name="allenjb" src="https://svn.allenjb.me.uk/svn/overlay/trunk" type="svn">
                <link>https://trac.allenjb.me.uk/overlay</link>
                <description>AllenJB's personal overlay</description>
        </overlay>

If you haven't added any custom overlays before, create a text file called "layman-custom.xml" in /etc/portage (create it if it doesn't exist) and set the content to be the following:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<layman>
<overlays>
        <overlay contact="overlay@allenjb.me.uk" name="allenjb" src="https://svn.allenjb.me.uk/svn/overlay/trunk" type="svn">
                <link>https://trac.allenjb.me.uk/overlay</link>
                <description>AllenJB's personal overlay</description>
        </overlay>

</overlays>
</layman>

Now edit /etc/layman/layman.cfg and add the entry to the "overlays" list using  file:// format URL, for example:

overlays  : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt
            file:///etc/portage/layman-custom.xml
