-INDILIB 3rd PARTY DRIVERS INSTALLATION GUIDE
-
-0. Login as root or use sudo.
-
-1. Install layman to manage overlays if don't have this tool already.
-sudo emerge -v app-portage/layman
-
-2. Add brancik-overlay.xml file to the /etc/layman/overlays directory wit the following content:
-
-sudo nano -w /etc/layman/overlays/brancik-overlay.xml
-
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

-
-Or you can use layman-overlay-maker tool if you have >=app-portage/layman-2.0.0.
-
-More info about Gentoo overlays and their management can be found on http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman and in layman man pages.
-
-3. Add overlay:
-
-sudo layman -f -a brancik-overlay
-
-4. To install all available indilib drivers simply use provided portage set:
-
-sudo emerge -v @indilib-drivers or
-
-sudo emerge -v @indilib-drivers-live if you want bleeding edge drivers straight from GIT.
-
-5. If you want to install only drivers for the devices you use (the Gentoo way), you have to set appropriate USE flags:
-
-Available USE flags (Note that only 3rd party drivers are present. All other drivers are installed by sci-libs/indilib itself):
- - aagcloudwatcher
- - apogee
- - asi
- - dsi
- - duino
- - eqmod
- - ffmv
- - fishcamp
- - fli
- - gige
- - gphoto2
- - gpsd
- - maxdomeii
- - mi
- - nexstarevo
- - qhy
- - qsi
- - sbig
- - shelyak
- - spectracyber
- - ssag
- - sx
- - tess
-
-nano -w /etc/portage/package.use/indilib
-
-# Enable drivers USE flag which pulls sci-libs/indilib-drivers as dependency
-
-sci-libs/indilib drivers
-
-# To install indi_gphoto_ccd, indi_qhy_ccd and indi_sbig_ccd.
-# sci-libs/indilib-drivers is a meta ebuild and works similar to x11-base/xorg-drivers package.
-
-sci-libs/indilib-drivers gphoto2 qhy sbig
-
-sudo emerge sci-libs/indilib::brancik-overlay
-
-6. Note that ebuilds for stable release of indilib drivers (currently 1.3.0) are keyworded unstable (~amd64, ~x86 specifically) and live source ebuilds are all masked by package.mask. You will have to unmask them during
-installation (use emerge with --autounmask-write option). See official docs if you do not know this means exactly.
-
-7. You can use provided init script in /etc/init.d/indiserver and respective configuration file in /etc/conf.d/indiserver to set indiserver to start automatically.
-
-I have tested all the drivers and they compile OK at least on amd64 and arm. Whether they work with your device is up to you to discover :-) I will try to maintain ebuilds as the time goes by and my spare time allows me.
-
-8. Known problems:
-
-Firmware for libsbig (sci-libs/libsbig) won't cross emerge if the host machine belongs to different ARCH.
-
-9. The overlay also includes ebuilds for sci-astronomy/lin_guider, sci-astronomy/ccd, sci-astronomy/qastrocam-g2 and sci-astronomy/open-phd-guiding (version 1 and 2 directly from git).
-
-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
