If you would like to see Netscape 6 in gentoo and are willing to spend some |
2 |
time on it, please do contribute by any means. |
3 |
Now to the technical stuff. |
4 |
You do not need to know many details about portage code. What is getting |
5 |
submitted is a set of build instructions wrapped in a bash script (and as |
6 |
such, the tarball itself will not help much). |
7 |
Please see: |
8 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-howto.html |
9 |
for a description on how to create such an ebuild |
10 |
(bash script (quite often very basic) containing install instructions). You |
11 |
can also look at ebuilds for other packages. |
12 |
The ebuild and any necessary supplementary files (patches, etc) are to be |
13 |
submitted to http://bugs.gentoo.org, this page contains an ebuild submission |

If you still do not feel like creating an ebuild file (BTW you can always go |
18 |
to #gentoo channel at irc.openprojects.net to get some real-time ebuild |
19 |
creation assistance) you can instead submit build instructions and any url |
20 |
pointers to bugs.gentoo.org as a feature request ( but this will take more |
21 |
time to process for obvious reasons :)). |
