canutethegreat-overlay

Personal Gentoo ebuilds of Ronald Farrer (CanuteTheGreat), used on his Horcrux (Gentoo) machines. Source of truth: https://git.canutethegreat.com/CanuteTheGreat/canutethegreat-overlay (Forgejo); https://github.com/CanuteTheGreat/canutethegreat-overlay is a push mirror. Please report outdated or broken ebuilds as an issue.

Rules: EAPI 8, thin Manifests, only the newest release of a package (plus an optional live -9999) is kept, binary packages carry RESTRICT="bindist mirror" and an honest LICENSE. Everything is ~amd64 (arch testing).

Packages

Package	Version	Notes
app-misc/alienfx	2.4.3, 9999	Alienware lighting; 9999 (git master, python >= 3.14) carries the 187c:0551 rule. The udev rules use TAG+="uaccess" (logged-in seat user, needs systemd-logind/elogind) instead of upstream's world-writable MODE 666; the sysfs chmod 666 rule for the Alpha ASM100 is dropped

Removed (replaced by ::gentoo/GURU or another package, or no longer maintained here): sys-kernel/dkms (::gentoo), app-containers/waydroid (GURU carries 1.6.3: eselect repository enable guru), net-fs/goofys and net-fs/goofys-bin (unmaintained; use net-fs/geesefs), net-misc/nxplayer, net-misc/nomachine, app-office/overgrive, net-ftp/filezillapro, app-office/insync, app-mobilephone/easytether.

DaVinci Resolve (media-video/davinci-resolve, media-video/davinci-resolve-studio)

Proprietary, RESTRICT=fetch: Blackmagic only gives the archive out after a registration form (name, e-mail, ...), so there is no scripted download and no Manifest in this overlay (thin Manifests, and a placeholder DIST would be a lie). Once per version:

1. Open https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion, choose DaVinci Resolve (free) or DaVinci Resolve Studio, version = the ebuild version (21.2.0), platform Linux, fill in the form.
2. Put the download into DISTDIR (portageq distdir, normally /var/cache/distfiles) under exactly this name: DaVinci_Resolve_21.2.0_Linux.zip (free) or DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.2.0_Linux.zip (Studio).
3. ebuild "$(portageq get_repo_path / canutethegreat-overlay)"/media-video/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-21.2.0.ebuild manifest (same with davinci-resolve-studio), then emerge -av media-video/davinci-resolve (ACCEPT_LICENSE must allow all-rights-reserved: echo 'media-video/davinci-resolve* all-rights-reserved' >> /etc/portage/package.license/resolve).
4. gpasswd -a $USER video, log in again (licence/log/cache dirs below /opt/davinci-resolve are root:video 0775). Studio: activate with the dongle, Blackmagic Cloud licence or activation code.

GPU: VIDEO_CARDS decides the compute stack (nvidia -> x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers for CUDA+OpenCL, amdgpu -> ROCm OpenCL, intel -> intel-compute-runtime); at least one is required. RTX 50xx (Blackwell) needs the open kernel modules. The package is strip/QA_PREBUILT (bundled Qt/ffmpeg), RPATHs with Blackmagic's build paths are rewritten, the bundled glib is dropped for the system one, the upstream world-writable (MODE 0666) udev rules become TAG+="uaccess". Third-party packagings checked: gentoo-zh media-video/davinci-resolve, bentoo, vowstar; none is in ::gentoo or GURU. Tested without the real archive: the install logic was exercised against a mock archive with the same layout in a stage3 (rpath rewrite, desktop Exec targets exist, icons/mime/udev installed, udevadm verify, USE=nvidia/amdgpu variants); the first run against Blackmagic's real archive may still need a path fix. nvchecker follows .ci/resolve-latest.py (Blackmagic's public downloads index).

Owner-specific packages

Host glue and the owner's own products (ctg-ops, ctg-timerd, ctg-backup, yes-site, rustinion-agent, the Steam config for one workstation, ...) live in a separate private overlay, not here.

CI

• .forgejo/workflows/update-check.yml (daily, 06:17 UTC): nvchecker (.nvchecker/nvchecker.toml) compares upstream with the newest ebuild and opens one issue per new version.
• .forgejo/workflows/pkgcheck.yml (push/PR): pkgcheck scan -k error in a Gentoo stage3 container on the rw-man runners; accepted exceptions are in .ci/pkgcheck-skip.txt.

Cross toolchains

Not kept here. crossdev writes generated cross-* ebuilds into the highest-priority overlay when no dedicated crossdev repo exists; that is how a musl toolchain ended up in this overlay (removed 2026-10-29). Create one locally with a dedicated repo instead: eselect repository create crossdev && crossdev --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.

Proton apps

Official Linux builds only. Not duplicated here because ::gentoo/GURU already carry them: mail-mta/proton-mail-bridge (::gentoo, source build), net-vpn/proton-vpn-gtk-app (GURU, with its dev-python/proton-* deps) and mail-client/proton-mail-bin (GURU, desktop Mail+Calendar; often behind upstream). No official Linux desktop app exists for Proton Drive (CLI only), Wallet (mobile/web), Docs, Sheets or Calendar (Calendar is inside the Mail desktop app). Versions are tracked by .ci/proton-latest.py (reads proton.me/download metadata) in .nvchecker/nvchecker.toml.
