[gentoo-user] Debugging an ebuild

[David Corbin]

I would like to debug an ebuild that is not working for me.  I've googled and 
not found anything terrible useful.  Can anyone point me at a HOWTO or some 
such?

When I tried to 'ebuild' a copy the ebuild outside of  the /usr/protage 
directory, it complains that it "is not in a valid PORTDIR heirarchy".  Is 
there a way to run do this?

If I hack in some additional statements, ebuild fails with the 'digest 
verification'.  Again, any pointers around this type of problem would be 
helpful.

Thanks
David
