Re: [gentoo-amd64] simulating apt-get on gentoo

[Daiajo Tibdixious]

I have that for the (now) old java client/launcher. Jagex released a
new client/launcher called NXT which doesn't have that yet.
If I can get the files I'll have a go at writing an ebuild (and other
stuff) and try to get them to make a
gentoo package.
Tempted to put Ubuntu on my old comp, install it there to work out the
files & locations.
