[gentoo-dev] how to skip unpack stage

[David Chamberlain]

I'm trying to adapt the blackdown java ebuilds for the ppc port.  I have 
to redirect the download to get the ppc binaries from blackdown, but - 
unlike the i386 versions - they're plain .bin files, not tbz2.  Though 
there's no src_unpack in the ebuild, portage still wants to unpack 
them, and bombs when it fails to do so.  Is there a way to tell it to 
skip that stage?  I can think of a workaround (either loading them up 
to portage/distfiles as tbz2's, or perhaps having the ebuild copmress 
them first), but neither of these seems like it should be necessary.  
Any ideas?
