Gentoo Science Overlay
This is a Gentoo Linux ebuild repository which provides numerous scientific software packages.
Install
As per the current Portage specifications, ebuild repositories (a.k.a. overlays) should be managed via file collections under /etc/portage/repos.conf/.
To enable our overlay without the need for additional software, simply run (as root):
wget https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git/plain/metadata/science.conf -O /etc/portage/repos.conf/science
To start using the overlay you now only need to get the ebuilds, via emerge --sync.
BLAS and LAPACK
The BLAS and LAPACK switching framework in ::gentoo has been implemented. The Science overlay will no longer carry blas and lapack ebuilds.
Uninstall
To uninstall the overlay run (again, as root):
rm /etc/portage/repos.conf/science
rm /var/db/repos/science -rf
