eselect repository list|grep game [141] gamerlay

So eselect repository enable gamerlay should be enough.

@nado gamerlay and games-overlay are different overlays. I've no idea is they related in some way or not, but I've currently enabled both and only games-overlay contains ebuild for Baldur's Gate I 1.3.x (I need 1.3.x and not 2.3.x available in main portage because only 1.3 has good enough unofficial Russian translation).

Maybe it has been removed from the layman list. Read https://github.com/hasufell/games-overlay#adding-the-overlay

[powerman]

Yes, it was removed, and this is what I've reported - sorry if this wasn't obvious. Probably you should contact layman's list maintainers and ask why your overlay was removed.

Probably you should contact layman's list maintainers and ask why your overlay was removed.

I don't really care. I let other people maintain this overlay, however. So "issues" barely help. Instead, just provide pull requests, do stuff, contact list maintainers.

[powerman]

I've own overlay registered at layman several years ago, and AFAIR they need overlay author's contact email and confirmation. So, I'm not sure someone else may register your overlay in layman's list.

see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/api.git/commit/files/overlays/repositories.xml?id=d8a0194ec53d9342a17758ba076ad7fb74afa25f and https://bugs.gentoo.org/626918

if you want to fix those issues, do so, create a bug, then contact @mgorny or whatever to re-add

Thanks @hasufell.
