The overlay also includes ebuild for sci-astronomy/open-phd-guiding (version 2 directly from git) and sci-astronomy/siril (useful tool for astrophotography) and some other software. I hope someone will find this useful and please report any bugs with the ebuilds or compilation failures to the forum: http://indilib.org/forum/general/566-my-gentoo-overlay-with-indilib-3rd-party-drivers |
