An easier method, if you have portage-utils installed, is to use |
| 27 |
`qtbz2 -s package-ver.tbz2` to split the .tbz2 binpkg into a .tar.bz2 |
| 28 |
with the contents and a .xpak with the metadata, then use `qxpak -x |
| 29 |
package-ver.xpak package-ver.ebuild` to extract just the ebuild from |
| 30 |
the xpak. |
