steam-overlay
Gentoo overlay for Valve's Steam client and Steam-based games. Stable ebuilds are also transferred to Gamerlay overlay (repo).
Using the overlay
You can add this overlay with Layman and the following command layman -a steam.
To install, emerge steam-meta ebuild.
Note: due to new 32bit dependencies of the client, we cannot support steam without steam-runtime on AMD64 at the moment.
Troubleshooting Steam
If you have problems, please take a look at http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam, Gentoo Forums thread, Arch Wiki and the official bug tracker.
The correspondig bugzilla entry is bug #442176. The official steam repo is here.
Contribute to this overlay
If you want to suggest changes, like new dependencies or game-related stuff, please send a github pull request with explanation/proof why this is necessary, so we can discuss it. Determine correct behavior and dependencies can be tricky, therefore we'd like to discuss and wait for confirmation of others before adding modifications or new ebuilds.
