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 You will probably +never feel the pain to fix those stupid build errors with libstdc++ on an +outdated dual core ULV processor...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. + -- cgit v1.2.3
