Subject: [e-users] Gentoo Overlay
Do any of you use the gentoo overlay? I'm wondering how well it's
maintained. Are the wiki instructions current
(http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/E17#Vapier.27s_Overlay)? I'm just
beginning a gentoo installation on an old Mac G4 Cube. I'd like to run
e17, but some of the info I see about this overlay seems to be dated
(about six months old).

TIA

I use the enlightenment overlay. It works and is maintained. Try to follow
the guide in gentoo wiki a bit _carefully_, doing only the stuff that is
needed for the enlightenment overlay.

That guide is in a bit of a mess (see my comments in the discussion
section). If I get some time, I might try to rewrite the part for the
enlightenment overlay in the official gentoo wiki ( http://wiki.gentoo.org
). I can't say anything about the niifaq overlay since I haven't used it
for nearly 3 years now.

I haven't had any major problem with the live ebuilds in the
enlightenment overlay, just a few minor things that have been fixed.
It was about 2 months ago following the guide on the wiki.

I can say, that niifaq overlay still live and maintained. It have a bit
more packages, but they experimental and sometimes not so well maintained.
So, there are no big difference between enlightenment and niifaq overlays.
Only if you want some adventures and/or portage 2.2 with sets.

I use the gentoo overlay. It works well, the instructions are a little
off but for the most part will get you where you want to go. For a basic
setup emerge enlightenment:17

I use the enlightenment overlay as maintained by Vapier.  It occasionally
falls behind, but it will soon catch up again with the trunk.  It should
provide you with a working desktop and you can select the desired packages one
by one, if you don't need/want to install everything.
