I recently suggested ebuilds on bugs.gentoo.org and was advised to
generate a PR (=pull request) against the gentoo portage repo on github:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo
ok, I forked that repo, did my changes within a local copy (clone) of my
repo .. etc etc
So far I understand things, OK, I have to figure out how to use branches
for separate packages ... but I am on my way ;-)
What I didn't yet find on Gentoo Wiki etc:
I would like to have my ongoing work (which is tracked inside my own
fork of the gentoo portage tree) in, say, /usr/local/portage and be able
to install packages either from the official portage tree or my own overlay.
I created files like this:
# /etc/portage/repos.conf/local.conf
[stefangweichinger-gentoo]
location = /usr/local/portage
masters = gentoo
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/stefangweichinger/gentoo.git
auto-sync = no
... but that always gave me permission issues
$ emaint sync -r stefangweichinger-gentoo
>>> Syncing repository 'stefangweichinger-gentoo' into
'/usr/local/portage'...
/usr/bin/git pull
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
!!! git pull error in /usr/local/portage
could someone show me an example and maybe even explain the workflow?
