gnome-next

• This is the experimental gnome overlay, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
• It will probably break your deptree, your system, and your backbone.

Gentoo overlay tracking upcoming GNOME releases ahead of the main tree.

Usage

./gup [subcommand] [options]

On first run the venv is created automatically at scripts/.venv and aiohttp is installed.

---

sync

Primary workflow command. It reads scripts/apps and for each entry:

• checks GNOME FTP for newer upstream releases
• updates/creates ebuilds only when there is a real version upgrade path
• optionally bootstraps missing package directories from Gentoo when FTP is newer

./gup            # same as sync
./gup sync
./gup sync --pretend
./gup sync --bootstrap-missing
./gup sync --pretend --bootstrap-missing

Flags:

• --pretend — dry run, no files are written
• --bootstrap-missing — allow creating missing package dirs from Gentoo as base when FTP is newer

---

add

Append one atom to scripts/apps after validating it exists in the main Gentoo repo.

./gup add net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth
./gup add net-misc/gnome-connections:50

---

digest

Regenerate all Manifests via ebuild digest.

./gup digest             # scan entire repo
./gup digest path/to/pkg # scan a specific directory
