-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello Everyone,
I will begin by stating my problem. I have the source code (in *.tar.bz2 format) for a couple of pieces of software that are not in the Portage tree at all. I would like to compile and install them in such a way that I can use them, and even so Portage recognizes them. I have read the official Gentoo documentation regarding Portage, ebuilds and diverting from the Portage tree and while it gave me some ideas, it really didn't fully answer the question of exactly *how* to do what I want. I am hoping that someone can provide me with resources - examples and/or a walkthrough would be especially helpful. I realize that the Gentoo team can only do so much and carefully test each package before putting it in the official tree. There are just some pieces of software that I want that are not even in the testing tree. Regards, Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFF84SxUx1jS/ORyCsRCIN+AKCR0FGCbhCPWxxQ2MEx/iCV6f03LQCeN01k DghUTP3DSTnzDn12uTLCIWs= =ov0z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
