Hi!

Funtoo has a user ebuild repository, named Flora: http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Flora.

If your ebuild(s) are for new packages that doesn't exist in Funtoo, they will be automatically merged in Funtoo's Portage tree (after being accepted to Flora). If they are packages that already exist for which you added new features or fixed problems, you can still use Flora as an overlay to make them available (Flora can be used through Layman).

Please let us know if you need any other information!

I've published my first ebuild to bugs.gentoo.org. My question is, you get the developer of Funtoo with her ​​or wants to be notified?
I have more I want to publish the ebuilds. I'm testing the possibilities as I can publish them. Alternatively, create overlay on github.com.
Although a bit awkward for me bugs.gentoo.org is, that's the way you want?

thx,
Sandy

A correction here - Flora really shouldn't be used for packages that
are already in Gentoo/Funtoo, just for new packages.

Thank you for this information.
I will check which ebuilds have not been reported as a bug on bugs.gentoo.org and flora test.
It is a good alternative. When I'm ready, I'll go through the instructions step by step.

One question I have.
I wrote an ebuild for GuitarPro, which is a commercial product.
In my local overlay I created a file license_groups, so that you explicitly allow the license to be before you can install it.
Such settings are also covered?

I don't think we are syncing licenses from flora -> funtoo, but this
would be really easy to add, and should be added. So it shouldn't be a
problem, we just need to tweak our merge.py script and add a line.

Daniel
