Sabayon Community Repositories

The Sabayon Community Repositories (SCR) is a community-driven collection of repositories for Sabayon users.

It contains packages built and kept up-to-date by the SCR Build System that allow you to install a package directly with equo.

The SCR was created to keep in a clean and well state the Entropy main repositories, with the goal to reduce it's size and impact. The SCR is the infrastructure to organize and share new packages from the community and to also build popular packages into the community repository.

SCR contains mostly packages that can be found in Gentoo Overlays (layman) and that cannot be maintained by the Sabayon Dev team. In the SCR, users are able also to contribute their own package builds (ebuilds and related files). The SCR community has the ability to vote for or against packages/repositories in the SCR Build System. All the repositories provides packages in the binary form.

DISCLAIMER: SCR packages are user produced content. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Website usage

Start to search on the top bar, if the package is present a drop down menu will appear. Click on the package you are interested in and follow the steps to install in your box!

TL;DR

SCR Developers

SCR Developers(SCRD) are members of the community charged with keeping the SCR in working order. They maintain popular packages (communicating with and sending patches upstream as needed), and vote in administrative matters.

A SCRD is elected from active community members by current SCRDs in a democratic process. SCRDs are the only members who have a final say in the direction of the SCR.
