Chris' Private Gentoo Portage Overlay

A lot of these ebuild files are just stolen from other overlays. As a principle
I do not add third-party overlays to my system. Ebuilds are just shell scripts
and despite being sandboxed malicious ones may still do unexpected harm to the
system. Here is where I review third-party ebuilds and add them to my system.
Occasionally I also add updated versions or fixes if some official ebuilds
become unmaintained. All ebuilds here are only guaranteed to work with my
particular setup. I don't test them for the sake of testing, i.e. This overlay
is for private usage only. Use at your own peril.

Chromium ebuilds until fairly recently (Chromium 87 I believe) were maintained
by me. Those contain the VAAPI patch from Debian and are verified to be working
on Intel iGPU. I stopped working actively on them since a) Chromium VAAPI works
(almost) out of box on Linux desktop now and b) Stephan Hartmann
(sultan@gentoo.org) stepped in and started doing God's work. You will probably
never feel the pain to fix those stupid build errors with libstdc++ on an
outdated dual core ULV processor... Current Chromium ebuilds are just forks of
those in the official portage tree with minor tweaks. AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE MY
OLD CHROMIUM EBUILDS BECAUSE NOBODY SHOULD USE AN OUTDATED BROWSER. They will be
removed shortly.
