I just put one together for http://www.mainnerve.com/lft/ and used: dobin lft doman lft.8 dodoc CHANGELOG COPYING README TODO lft-manpage.html to essentially duplicate what their srpm does. (I didn't expect any sandbox issues, but just didn't need to bother with make install.) src_compile was even easier as: econf || die emake || die The only issue is that lft needs to be suid to work for non-root, and I've not yet dealt with that in the ebuild.... -JimC -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
