IMHO, this seems pretty useless in Gentoo. It's almost as easy to write |
5 |
an ebuild for the install as to do it by hand. That is, just make an |
6 |
ebuild and use it to install your own-compiled file. Then it'll be in |
7 |
the package-system and can easily be removed by unmerging the package. |

The source is left in /tmp/portage/<package>/work/<package> |
15 |
if you want to tweek it just go into the dir, run configure (or whatever |
16 |
you use to configure the package) and then run make. |
17 |
|
18 |
use the ebuild with |
19 |
|
20 |
ebuild <package>.ebuild install qmerge |
21 |
|
22 |
imho it would be nice to split the current src_compile into |
23 |
src_configure and src_compile (where most packages wouldn't have to |
24 |
override src_compile (with default to 'emake || die')). |
25 |
|
26 |
Then it could be possible to do |
27 |
|
28 |
ebuild <package>.ebuild unpack |
29 |
configure manually |
30 |
ebuild <package>.ebuild compile install qmerge |
