First: Do you really want to build an ebuild? I'm asking because |
| 12 |
arabtex only depends on an installed TeX system and isn't even |
| 13 |
OS-specific about it. |

For Gentoo (and most other Linux distros), that means you can get |
| 16 |
easily away with: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
root$ cd /usr/local/share |
| 19 |
root$ mkdir texmf (if it doesn't yet exist) |
| 20 |
root$ cd texmf |
| 21 |
root$ wget ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arab311.tgz (or whatever is current) |
| 22 |
root$ tar xzf arab311.tgz |
| 23 |
root$ texhash |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
and you can happily use arabtex on that machine. You can deploy this |
| 26 |
amongst machines (e.g. rsync'ing the /usr/local/share/texmf tree). |

Well, I would volunteer if you really need one, but please |
| 32 |
explain first why ;-) |
