Some of the VDR ebuilds have been added to the portage tree of Gentoo.org, but the main part of them is in the german CVS of Gentoo.de.

If you want to use portage for the VDR Ebuilds, you can use the PORTAGE_OVERLAY functionality by following the steps below:

For updating the ebuilds you will use gensync from the gentoolkit-dev package:

emerge gentoolkit-dev
mkdir -p /usr/local/gentoo-de

In /etc/gensync/gentoo-de.syncsource write

id="gentoo-de"
description="gentoo.de Portage Overlay"
rsync="rsync://rsync16.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-de-ebuilds"
# mirror is the none with all VDR ebuilds!!!
# overlay="/my/absolute/path"
overlay="/usr/local/gentoo-de"

Now you can download our Ebuilds by means of gensync, and later also with the same command to keep them up to date.

gensync gentoo-de

Change the PORTDIR_OVERLAY Variable in /etc/make.conf:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/gentoo-de"
  • Gentoo.de Linux Portage tree mirror
rsync://rsync16.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-de
  • Gentoo.de and Gentoo.org Linux Portage tree mirror
rsync://rsync16.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-merged

Comments
It's worth noting that the majority of these ebuilds are now in the main Gentoo portage tree, so you must also run "emerge --sync" to keep as up to date as possible.
