I don't know if the other gentoo users on this list are aware of this, but
someone who goes by the name of nevermind has created a proaudio portage
overlay. You can find out about it at
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-427211.html , or download a live svn
snapshot directly from
http://svnweb.tuxfamily.org/dl.php?repname=proaudio+%28ckpp%29&path=%2F…
.
Overall it is very useful, containing both packages that are missing from the
main portage tree and more recent versions of existing packages. There are
several very nice apps I had not heard of before, such as aeolus, the pipe
organ emulator.
One thing I have found I have needed to do has been to manually download some
of the tarballs to /usr/portage/distfiles, and then to delete some of the
digests and manifests and rebuild them (using "ebuild packagename-1.2.3
manifest digest") in order to generate new checksums. In one case (I think it
was the vst sdk) I had to roll my own tarball in place of the one one of the
ebuilds was unable to download. There were one or two other ebuild tweaks I
had to do as well. So not problem free, but very useful nonetheless.

Yep, I've been using it here so far and had much the same experience.
The maintainer is pretty responsive to issue reports and patches, too.

Hi Robert,
could you please post the error message you get from ebuild's digest
verification? Maybe directly in the thread on the forums, not here on
the list. I smell a problem with arch portage vs. ~arch portage's new
SHA256 digest method on some ebuilds... also other tweaks, fixes etc
are allways very welcome!
Regards,
Tom (gimpel)

I can't remember exactly what the problem was in this case. I dealt with it
and forgot about it. I'm sure I will find some more bugs to deal with before
too long. I've also written a couple of ebuilds (my first, so they probably
need checking, but they work for me) that I could post.
One thing though. I think the forum thread is starting to get a bit out of
hand -- nine pages and growing. It's already at the stage where it is very
difficult to see whether a bug has already been reported. I'm starting to
find it a bit intimidating, to be honest. I think your overlay needs its own
forum rather than a single thread. Or a mailing list maybe.

I'm not sure what to do about the lash use flag. it conflicts with
ladcca in the gentoo portage tree. that's fine i guess, since i never
got ladcca working (for lack of trying). Also i found myself forced to
upgrade gcc from 3.3 to 3.4, and the revdep-rebuild process choked at
almost every package from the overlay. So i commented it (the overlay)
out of etc/make.conf, and still got complaints. i ended up basically un
installing all of the overlay packages and then commenting out the
overlay and revdep-rebuild, then uncomment it and emerge -uDN world. I
guess this would be better suited for the forums... but i agree that the
overlay is not problem free.

In the case of vst-sdk your forced to download it manually because we
are not allowed to
distribute it (look at its license)
I've fixed/changed the the ebuild a bit to point that out
I'm not sure what to do about the lash use flag.
it conflicts with
ladcca in the gentoo
