If I may chime in. Our rpm support is a tad incomplete currently. I've |
11 |
got some patches which overhaul the rpm handling in portage that come |
12 |
from Peter S. Mazinger so portage can properly generate usable rpm's |
13 |
without requiring user interaction etc. It's $FEATURE based and I've got |
14 |
about 135 packages built from it in my local tree. I think Peter has |
15 |
some 500+ working ones. |

The package rpm itself in portage needs some love, which is why these |
21 |
really patches have not been submitted to bugzilla/portage-dev yet. |
22 |
Before this support can really work properly we have to find a |
23 |
maintainer for the rpm package and get him/her the patches to allow us |
24 |
to have /usr/src/gentoo and gentoo-like configurations. Originally only |
25 |
redhat/mandrake/suse/conectiva compatible packages were supported. We |
26 |
have some PIC corrections, corrections from openpkg, allow to bootstrap |
27 |
into packaging, and better handling of shared/debug/rpc allow to use |
28 |
newer beecrypt and system provided popt corrections from openpkg. |
