If you do or plan to use OLA on a Gentoo-system, please vote for the mentioned bug or at least ad yourself to the CC-list. This ways, the Gentoo-devs see how much interest there is in a package and it might get added to the official portage tree faster. Thanks.

Use the ebuilds from Gentoo's Bugzilla

• Make sure you have a local portage overlay: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Local_Overlays
• Download the ebuild(s) from Bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429576 and save them in /usr/local/portage/app-misc/ola/
• Follow the overlay-guide to digest the ebuilds (fetches the sources and creates the Manifest-file)
• If you want to use the live-ebuild (ola-9999) you will need to keyword the ebuild (**)
• If you use Gentoo stable (amd64, arm or x86), you will need to keyword the ebuild (~amd64, ~arm or ~x86)
• Emerge ola

Use Peter Stuge's overlay

As he has written on OLA's mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/open-lighting/UI3x8cD1o1Y:

USE=git emerge layman && layman -a stuge && emerge ola 

Here are some more detailed instructions:

• add 'app-portage/layman git' to /etc/portage/package.use if not exists
• emerge layman
• add 'source "/var/lib/layman/make.conf"' to /etc/make.conf after any lines which set PORTDIR_OVERLAY (last line of make.conf is fine)
• layman -a stuge
• add keywords to /etc/portage/package.keywords as neccessary for your ~arch or for the live ebuild
• emerge ola
