Syncthing is available from the [timboudreau overlay](http://github.com/timboudreau/gentoo), or from [fearedbliss's overlay](https://github.com/fearedbliss/bliss-overlay). These overlays contain the ebuild for building syncthing from source,
installing it, and setting it up as a service that runs on startup.
Install layman if you don't have it already. Then run
- layman -a timboudreau
- layman -a timboudreau (or bliss-overlay)
- eix-update
- emerge syncthing
Edit /etc/conf.d/syncthing and set the user who will share files to
your user name.
fearedbliss's overlay compiles syncthing so that it doesn't autoupdate on its own (To ensure updates are stable, and also provides a clean upgrade path via Portage). It also installs the systemd service/user unit files provided by SyncThing.
If you don't have layman installed but are using a relatively new version of Portage (>= 2.2.18), you can integrate these external repositories directly into your normal emerge --sync updates by following the steps here (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf#External_Overlay).
