I just added a overlay, regular one, plus I have one of my own.  I added one right after my initial install, voyager.  Keep in mind, I run emerge and such as root.  It won't matter for me but if you plan to run emerge as a user, it will matter.  This is what mine looks like.  root@Gentoo-1 / # ls

I appreciate the advice, I will try that. I just installed a few days ago, and all my overlays are owned by root. I've seen a lot of conflicting info on this, but I don't see how changing the permissions like you said could cause any problems. Thanks again! On Thu, Oct 31, 2024 at 7:40 AM Dale wr

[gentoo-user] Proper overlay permissions

I want to develop a local overlay on my system, sync it with git, and be able to sign my commits with gpg. How can i set the permissions of my overlay so that I can do this as a regular user securely? Would it be fine to just make me the owner of that directory?
