Overlay containing various utility ebuilds for Gentoo on EFI.
Required for the tutorial "Sakaki's EFI Install Guide" on the Gentoo wiki.
- app-portage/showem source
- Provides a simple utility script (showem(1)), which enables you to monitor the progress of a parallel emerge(1). A manpage is included.
- sys-kernel/buildkernel source
- Provides a script (buildkernel(8)) to build a (stub EFI) kernel (with integral initramfs) suitable for booting from a USB key on UEFI BIOS PCs. Automatically sets the necessary kernel configuration parameters, including the command line, and signs the resulting kernel if possible (for secure boot). Has a interactive and non-interactive (batch) mode. Manpages for the script and its configuration file (/etc/buildkernel.conf) are included.
- app-portage/genup source
- Provides the genup(8) script, to simplify the process of keeping your Gentoo system up-to-date. genup(8) can automatically update the Portage tree, all installed packages, and kernel. Has interactive and non-interactive (batch) modes. A manpage is included.
- app-portage/porthash source
- Provides the porthash(1) script, which creates, or by default verifies, a signed
sha512
"master" hash of the specified Portage repostitory tree (by default,/usr/portage
). It is intended to provide assurance - when distributing a repo snapshot over an unauthenticated channel such as rsync - that the consitutent ebuilds, manifests etc. have not been tampered with in transit. A manpage is included.
- Provides the porthash(1) script, which creates, or by default verifies, a signed
- app-crypt/staticgpg
- A simple ebuild, derived from app-crypt/gnupg version 1.4.16, which creates a statically linked, no-pinentry version of gpg(1) suitable for use in an initramfs context. It can safely be installed beside a standard 2.x version of app-crypt/gnupg (which isn't SLOTted). Deploys its executable to /usr/bin/staticgpg. A placeholder manpage is included.
- sys-apps/coreboot-utils upstream
- This package provides a few utilities from the coreboot project, specifically
ifdtool
to parse and modify flash dumps of Intel firmware and (onamd64
only)intelmetool
to query the status of the Intel Management Engine.
- This package provides a few utilities from the coreboot project, specifically
- (eclass/)java-maven-pkg.eclass
- Provides an eclass to support building Maven pacakges from source. Use
mvn2ebuild
in place ofmvn
within a working Maven build tree, to create a 'starter' ebuild using this eclass.

eclass.
- Provides a from-source build of the JItsi Meet COnference FOcus server (media session manager). Uses
- net-im/jitsi-meet-master-config
- Provides master configuration settings for Jitsi Meet server, via a prompt-based tool.
- net-im/jitsi-meet-prosody upstream
- Provides Prosody configuration and plugins for use with Jitsi Meet.
- net-im/jitsi-meet-server
- Provides a top-level service for the Jitsi Meet baseline server set, allowing all subcomponents to be started and stopped together. Emerge this package to build the Jitsi complex, then run
emerge --config jitsi-meet-master-config
, and then start thejitsi-meet-server
service. Supports both OpenRC and systemd.
- Provides a top-level service for the Jitsi Meet baseline server set, allowing all subcomponents to be started and stopped together. Emerge this package to build the Jitsi complex, then run
- net-im/jitsi-meet-turnserver upstream

net-im/coturn
server to work with Jitsi Meet.
- This package configures the
- net-im/jitsi-meet-web-config upstream
- Provides Webserver (nginx/apache) configurations for use with Jitsi Meet.
- net-im/jitsi-meet-web upstream
- Provides an (upstream deb-derived) WebRTC, JavaScript/WASM-based videoconferencing client webroot filestructure.
- net-im/jitsi-videobridge upstream
- Provides a from-source build of Jitsi VideoBridge - a WebRTC compatible SFU. Uses
java-maven-pkg
eclass.

As of version >= 2.2.16 of Portage, genpi-tools is best installed (on Gentoo) via the new plug-in sync system. Full instructions are provided on the Gentoo wiki.
The following are short form instructions. If you haven't already installed git(1), do so first:
# emerge --ask --verbose dev-vcs/git
Next, create a custom /etc/portage/repos.conf
entry for the genpi-tools overlay, so Portage knows what to do. Make sure that /etc/portage/repos.conf
exists, and is a directory. Then, fire up your favourite editor:
# nano -w /etc/portage/repos.conf/genpi-tools.conf
and put the following text in the file:
[genpi-tools]
# Various utility ebuilds for Gentoo on EFI
# former Maintainer: sakaki ([email protected]) / now https://github.com/GenPi64/genpi-tools
location = /var/db/repos/genpi-tools
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/GenPi64/genpi-tools.git
priority = 50
auto-sync = yes
Then run:
# emaint sync --repo genpi-tools
If you are running on the stable branch by default, allow ~amd64 keyword files from this repository. Make sure that /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
exists, and is a directory. Then issue:
# echo "*/*::genpi-tools ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/genpi-tools-repo
Now you can install packages from the overlay. For example:
# emerge --ask --verbose app-portage/genup
