How to convert unofficial Gentoo overlays to use Funtoo profiles?
xenhat posted a question in Portage Help
Hello! I've been using Gentoo/Funtoo for several years as a user but I've only recently started developing in general. This is also my first post. :) I recently tried to install an unofficial overlay (unity-gentoo, available through layman) but it didn't go so well. As I've explained on their bug tracker (https://github.com/shiznix/unity-gentoo/issues/121), their installation procedure requires a profile to be selected. However, their profiles seems to be unrecognized by epro, so installation is unfortunately impossible. I've looked around the funtoo manuals but I am unable to find any relatively easy way to convert a classic portage/gentoo profile to the epro format. I'm not very familiar with the gen/funtoo internals and I'm a bit anxious at the perspective of writing the profiles from scratch (I wouldn't even know where to begin). Is there anything that could make that transition easier?
