Subject: [gentoo-dev] Ebuilds w/o version numbers?

1 I am trying to package a commercial vendor's SDK as a ebuild, just
2 for the sake of having everything I use in portage. No, the problem is
3 that this particular vendor doesn't follow the standard OSS versioning
4 scheme. The tarball I download has a name like:
5
6 sdknamewithversion.architecture.tar.gz
7
8 In other words:
9
10 vedorsdk2.linux24.tar.gz
11
12 And ofcourse they also fail to put a proper directory structure below
13 that.. but that one I belive I can work around..
14
15 But how would I write a ebuild that works with that? Or do I have to
16 resolve to storing it locally and rename the tarball?
17
18 Best regards
