For this GSoC 2014 I've been accepted by the Gentoo Foundation to work on improvements to the Gentoo tool, Layman. I will have two mentors[1] the official one on my Google melange is Matthew Summers (quantumsummers)[2], and Brian Dolbec (dol-sen). Throughout the summer I hope to expand the available repo types supported along with adding new features such as: * Repo URL updating * Syncing overlays through portage * A utility script for creating layman XML definitions * Per repo branch user settings. To list a few. Source Code:
