Overlays are a great way for people (users and devs alike) to try their hand maintaining their own Portage tree. It's great practice and it gives you a single place to reference for people who are using your ebuilds.
If it gets formally into layman, I believe our bugzy will cover you, too, in case you don't want to use github. I'd ask infra just to be sure. Overlays for Gentoo are comparable to Debian's and Ubuntu's PPAs and are similarly simple to install/use/delete. -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
