Hyproverlay
Hyproverlay is a Gentoo GNU/Linux Portage overlay dedicated to software from the Hypr-* ecosystem. Its primary objective is to follow upstream development as closely as possible, providing timely updates while minimizing divergence from upstream sources.

Installation
Repository
eselect-repository (recommended)
To install the repository automatically through eselect repository, first
install app-eselect/eselect-repository:
emerge --ask --noreplace app-eselect/eselect-repository
Add this repository:
eselect repository enable hyproverlay
Manual
To install the repository manually, write the following into
/etc/portage/repos.conf/hyproverlay.conf:
[hyproverlay]
location = /var/db/repos/hyproverlay
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://codeberg.org/hyproverlay/hyproverlay.git
Synchronization
Synchronize the repository:
emerge --sync hyproverlay
Testing
The default main branch is manually updated from the dev branch after
review. Changes will be first pushed to the dev branch, then merged into
main.
To test the changes early and switch to the dev branch, you can add
sync-git-clone-extra-opts = --branch dev to
/etc/portage/repos.conf/eselect-repo.conf or whatever file under
/etc/portage/repos.conf/ that contains the [hyproverlay] section:
[hyproverlay]
location = /var/db/repos/hyproverlay
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://codeberg.org/hyproverlay/hyproverlay.git
sync-git-clone-extra-opts = --branch dev
If the repository has already been cloned in /var/db/repos/hyproverlay, remove
the existing clone first, then sync the overlay again:
rm -rf /var/db/repos/hyproverlay
emerge --sync hyproverlay
Usage
With the repository installed and synced, install Hyprland with:
emerge --ask gui-wm/hyprland
Other tools and scripts for the Hyprland ecosystem are available as well. To install the most common ones:
emerge --ask \
gui-apps/hyprlock \
gui-apps/hypridle \
gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland \
gui-apps/hyprpaper
Motivation
After discussions with the ::gentoo and ::guru maintainers, it was concluded
that maintaining Hypr-* packages in a dedicated overlay is the most appropriate
approach. This decision avoids the overhead and limitations associated with
proxy maintenance in ::gentoo or ::guru, while enabling faster iteration, closer
alignment with upstream changes, and more focused maintenance of the Hypr-*
ecosystem.
