Here you go:
https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/

It's as simple as you can get - I will try to update stuff as new versions become available. It's on my private machine so don't expect 100% uptime (if any of you can provide stable and fast hosting it would be much appreciated).

Here's paludis repository definition:
Code:
location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/repositories/fonts/
sync = svn+https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/
names_cache = ${location}/.cache/names
cache = ${ROOT}/var/empty
distdir = ${ROOT}/var/tmp/distfiles
write_cache = ${ROOT}/var/cache/paludis/metadata
format = ebuild
master_repository = gentoo

Thanks! I try to avoid overlays just because they pull in so many packages and sometimes the overlay ebuilds replace portage ebuilds that I don't them to (which really should be resolved with overlay priorities). A small, single-purpose overlay like this is the way to do it.

Also, the ebuilds are missing their manifests (not a problem to create them locally though).

Here's a layman definition for a local repository list:
Code:
<layman>
<overlay
      type = "svn"
      src  = "https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/"
      name = "font-overlay"
      contact = "???">

        <description>Font Overlay</description>
</overlay>
</layman>

Boniek, you need to manifest the ebuilds in your overlay!!!!

Just digest them yourself. ;)

Code:
ebuild <insert ebuild file name here> digest

They have the 1.5 patch with the modifications made by Ubuntu as mentioned on the previous page how it adds more options. :)

@boniek: Thanks again for taking the time to set this up. Since the actual guide is no longer available, would it be possible to post the text of the guide here in this thread? (assuming that you have a copy of the guide on your own machine) Or, since the thread has become lengthy with earlier posts out of date, perhaps just a summary of the basic steps?

I pulled a copy of the cairo and libXft ebuilds from your svn and have rebuilt both using the newspr USE flag. I ran revdep-rebuild afterwards, just in case, but everything was consistent. Do I need to manually re-emerge anything else?

Edit: Apparently not. Everything looks great now. :D

pijalu: would you mind sharing that ebuild which patches the new version? I am apparently completely inept at changing anything but typo's in ebuilds.

It's up-to-date now. Unfortunately I won't be able to do 0day updates. I can only spend time working on overlay over the weekends (job, life etc :))
If you are using paludis (it may be possible for portage as well) I recommend to mask cairo from gentoo repository:
Code:
echo "x11-libs/cairo::gentoo" >> /etc/paludis/package_mask

That way you will only use cairo from overlay.

Just tried to grab that and it fails to patch cleanly. Ebuild unpack fails.

Code:

 * Failed Patch: cairo-1.5.2-newspr.patch.bz2 !
 *  ( /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/cairo-1.5.6/temp/381.patch )

That's strange. It works fine for me. Both - in Portage and in Paludis.

Hello.
Could you tell me how to add the new overlay to layman?
I've appended
Code:
<overlay
      type = "svn"
      src  = "https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/"
      name = "font-overlay"
      contact = "???">

        <description>Font Overlay</description>
</overlay>

to /usr/portage/local/layman/overlays.xml

And manually created a dir called font-overlay with the content of the overlay in it.

Code:
% layman -l
* custom-kernels            [Subversion] (source: http://opensvn.csie.org/cu...)
* font-overlay              [Subversion] (source: https://boniek.homelinux.o...)
* gentoo-china              [Subversion] (source: http://gentoo-china-overla...)
* plan9                     [Subversion] (source: http://overlays.gentoo.org...)

% eix x11-libs/cairo
[U] x11-libs/cairo
     Available versions:  1.2.6 1.4.10 1.4.12 1.4.12[1] (~)1.4.14 [M](~)1.5.6 {X debug directfb doc glitz opengl svg test xcb}
     Installed versions:  1.4.12[1](00:14:20 31/12/07)(X glitz newspr opengl svg -debug -directfb -doc -xcb)
     Homepage:            http://cairographics.org/
     Description:         A vector graphics library with cross-device output support

[1] "china" /usr/portage/local/layman/gentoo-china

Why can't I get the updated version of cairo?

Occasus, you need to put the description of the overlay into a different file. The file overlays.xml is where layman saves installed overlays. Make a new file, say list.xml:

Code:
> cat /usr/portage/local/layman/list.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<overlays>
<overlay
      type = "svn"
      src  = "https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk"
      name = "font-overlay"
      contact = "???">
        <description>Font Overlay</description>
</overlay>
</overlays>


Then use this file with -o switch. To see all available overlays:

Code:
> layman -o file:///usr/portage/local/layman/list.xml -L


To add the font-overlay:

Code:
> layman -o file:///usr/portage/local/layman/list.xml -a font-overlay


After that you need to add the PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/font-overlay" to your /etc/make.conf and then emerge cairo.

I simple appended
Code:
file:///usr/portage/local/layman/font-overlay.xml
to "overlays :" in /etc/layman/layman.cfg ...

HTH

PS: My font-overlay.xml looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<layman>
  <overlay
      type = "svn"
      src  = "https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/"
      contact = "boniek"
      name = "font-overlay">

    <link>
      https://boniek.homelinux.org/svn/repos/font-overlay/trunk/

Hmm, it first didn't work for me. Only when I changed the file /etc/layman/layman.cfg to include the following:
Code:
nocheck  : yes


Now, I can do a
Code:
layman -a font-overlay


and it works :lol:
