I am trying to install steam-meta from steam overlay and I am running into a bit of an issue. I set ABI_X86="64 32" in my make.conf, and I run into a large list of blocked packages.

Code:

# emerge -pv steam-meta

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I am wondering what the best way to proceed is. I've tried to unmerge some emul-linux-x86 packages mentioned, but the conflicts still exist.

Here on stable amd64 to avoid all the ABI_X86 stuff I enable the steamruntime useflag and I mask the dev-libs/gobject-introspection package from the steam overlay :
Code:

$ cat /etc/portage/package.mask
dev-libs/gobject-introspection::steam-overlay

steam-overlay is an unsafe overlay since they overwrite system libraries.

If you're using the steam-overlay without steamruntime, please also read the "Notes for AMD64" on https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay#notes-for-amd64.

I would go one step further, especially with STEAM.
1) add the steam overlay
2) copy out ONLY the steam meta ebuild
3) remove the overlay
4) emerge steam
5) run steam
6) emerge -C steam

profit.
STEAM itself then installs into ~/.local/share/Steam and then updates itself.

I'd even go further:

Do *not* use portage to install steam. Steam is, by definition, user profile bound anyway. All you can do is to put the installer somewhere, which is a 2.5k script. Nothing more. Everything else is user bound and pulled in by the installer.

Installing like described on http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam works. It's easy and safe.

Consider: How many user profiles do you have on your machine that will install their own steam (content)? One? So why do make an installer script global?

However, as described in the wiki, portage is great to maintain a set of the steam dependencies. But you won't need an overlay for that. Just this one set.

Steam-overlay is there for convenience. If you don't mind using precompiled libraries (Gentoo!) and they don't cause problems for you, you can either do the stuff mentioned in the wiki yourself or you can use the steam-overlay with steamruntime use flag to do it for you. If you don't want to use precompiled libraries (or at least only a minimal amount) you can use steam-overlay without steamruntime flag. But then you have to unmask the multilib ebuilds as explained in the Readme because they are not stable, yet.

Also, the steam-games-meta ebuild pulls in dependencies for certain games by simply activating the corresponding use flag.

And 2.5k is not much compared to the other stuff we have installed on Gentoo (headers, man pages, etc). The launcher package also installs icons.

I appreciate the effort, but there is no convenience, just problems. The "do it yourself" in the wiki is tiny and a one-time shot. Then you are done and have never to care about it again. It took me what. 5 minutes? Adding an overlay and meddling with the many problems for just one little installer script is much more.
On the other hand, the overlay, as far as I understood it, can help greatly if you want to keep emul-linux-* packages off your system...

However, the real part, after adding the appropriate dependency set to your /etc/portage/sets directory and emerging the dependecies, is this huge:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam#Installation wrote:
Download the .deb archive found here, extract[1] and put the following files into the same directory:
  • bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32.tar.xz (from the .deb archive)
  • steam.desktop (from the .deb archive)
  • steam (get the script here or here) [last update: 2013-03-24]

Make steam executable and run it. There are also a few icons in the .deb archive.
Wow. A full blown overlay for that seemed to be too much for me. Sorry.

Okay, then we have a different opinion on what is convenient. I admit that there are problems from time to time, but I try to fix them if I get a report. If one is fine with using the runtime, steam can be installed with such a one-liner:
Code:
layman -a steam; echo "games-util/steam-meta steamruntime > /etc/portage/package.use; emerge steam-meta

Maybe I should also enable the use of the current stable emul* packages - similar to the instructions in the wiki - instead of the split multilib packages that create issues with unmasking but this approach also makes the ebuilds more complex.

*IF* the steam overlay was just for steam I would agree, but it isn't. It has loads of other ebuilds.

When I added it just to get the steam client "conveniently installed" before the gentoo-specific steps were figured out it wanted to update loads of system libraries as well AND this is the problem. It was pulling in libSDL2, which steam was built to use 32bit MIND! it broke systems. Equally the steam client ships with alot of libraries so it isn't even needed.
For 64bit users installing libSDL2 wouldn't even make steam work since steam is 32bit so the emul packages were what was required.

This overlay has cause alot of damage/problems for quite a few users because it has added other stuff. It would be better *IF* everything else was hardmasked in the overlay except steam

Okay, not activating the steamruntime flag by default was making things more difficult to begin with, I changed that a few hours ago.

The other ebuilds are there to replace most parts of the official runtime because neither the emul* packages provide them nor are there multilib packages in the main tree. But they are only pulled in if steamruntime use flag is not activated.

I don't understand your point regarding libsdl2. A 32bit libsdl2 is required if you don't want the official runtime. The meta ebuilds also pull in the emul* packages not only libsdl2.

As I said, if someone reports a fault, I try to fix it. I only have one system to test. It caused trouble and I'm sorry for that. I learned a lot since I started the overlay.
