Okay, I've gone over the docs and the HOWTOs on gentoo.org and I'm still |
| 2 |
a wee bit (okay maybe a lot) fuzzy on developing/updating ebuilds. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I have a particular app I use quite often (DVDStyler), but the ebuild in |
| 5 |
portage is pretty old (1.5.2_p2) compared to the latest version |
| 6 |
available (1.6.2), the difference being about a year between them. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I know I can just compile the source for the latest, but I'd like to |
| 9 |
update the ebuild to learn how to do it. The docs however, aren't |
| 10 |
helpful from the standpoint that there's no clear cut procedure for |
| 11 |
setting up a devel environment for building/testing an ebuild locally |
| 12 |
without becoming a gentoo developer, per se. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Me, I rather like having step-by-step instructions on my first go round |
| 15 |
so I can 'do it right' the first time, then I'll know how to fix it if I |
| 16 |
bork something. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is there something like that floating around? |
