Pyneo for Gentoo

So, 14 Nov 2010 14:10:00 CET

Something I wanted to do for a while, but never actually got started: Get pyneo supported in gentoo. So I finally wrote some ebuilds, starting of course with pyneod and its dependencies gsm0710muxd as well as python-pyneo. More to follow soon.

The packages are based on the 1.32 tag in pyneo's git and pretty much identical to upstream, with the exception of the initscripts. My ebuilds replace them by proper gentoo-style initscripts that work well in openrc.

How to use it

Using this overlay is easy. Make sure you have layman installed, using the git USE-flag, and set up, e.g. as described here. After that you just have to add this overlay using:

layman -o "http://gitorious.org/tg/gentoo-pyneo/blobs/raw/master/overlay.xml" \
-f -a pyneo

That's it!
