Unofficial Private Signed Repository

Warning

Use at your own risk. These ebuilds are tested on my local Threadripper production system. I maintain them based on my own workflow and needs.

Welcome to my personal repository. This overlay contains a collection of custom ebuilds, modified packages, and curated tools designed for high-performance Gentoo environments on amd64.

Ebuild Collection

This overlay contains a mix of personal creations and modified ebuilds tailored for my environment.

• Custom & Modified: Many ebuilds are original works or customized versions of existing packages.
• Curated Content: Some ebuilds have been sourced from across the web or other overlays to centralize useful tools.
• Stability: All ebuilds are tested on my local system to ensure they build and run without errors.

Note

Ebuilds may be removed if they are merged into official Gentoo branches, if I no longer require them, or if I lack the time to maintain specific versions.

Custom Merged Profiles (Gentoo 23.0)

These profiles provide a clean merge of official Gentoo desktop environments with the hardenedsecurity profile. They leverage multiple inheritance to combine security and desktop functionality seamlessly.

Standard Desktop

• spikyatlinux:desktop-hardened-openrc (stable)
• spikyatlinux:desktop-hardened-systemd (stable)

KDE Plasma

• spikyatlinux:plasma-hardened-openrc (stable)
• spikyatlinux:plasma-hardened-systemd (stable)

GNOME

• spikyatlinux:gnome-hardened-openrc (stable)
• spikyatlinux:gnome-hardened-systemd (stable)

Combined Environments (Plasma + GNOME)

• spikyatlinux:plasma-gnome-openrc (stable)
• spikyatlinux:plasma-gnome-hardened-openrc (stable)
• spikyatlinux:plasma-gnome-systemd (stable)
• spikyatlinux:plasma-gnome-hardened-systemd (stable)

Technical Implementation

These profiles utilize Portage's inheritance logic to combine official Gentoo profiles without redundancy.

• Inheritance: Each profile uses a parent file to merge the respective desktop profile with the hardened profile (e.g., merging desktop/plasma/systemd with hardened).
• Standards: All profiles are fully compatible with EAPI 8.
• Modern Structure: Optimized for the modern Gentoo 23.0 profile split on the amd64 architecture.
• Visibility: Registered in profiles.desc for immediate availability via eselect profile list.
