Welcome to Project Sunrise

Project Sunrise offers an overlay made by gentoo users and developers. The scope is to cover all ebuilds that are not in the portage tree and making them easily available as well as allowing non-developers to maintain them. The overlays' ebuilds need to meet a certain QA level and commits are watched by gentoo devs.

Nevertheless the overlay ebuilds are mainly from users, thus being unsupported and experimental

If you have any questions, please look them up in the SunriseFaq or ask us to add them.

For instructions on how to get involved, see HowToCommit guide and CodingStandards.

To use the overlay you need to emerge layman and add the overlay:

emerge -va layman
echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
layman -f -a sunrise

You can then regularly update to the latest reviewed revision:

layman -s sunrise
# or alternatively for all your layman overlays:
layman -S
