again, why? all you need to do is downloading the file and put it into |
| 50 |
/usr/portage/distfiles. And don't add that to make.conf as an overlay |
| 51 |
directory. it is just wrong. |

you don't need to create the ebuild. It is a dependency/file needed. The |
| 64 |
ebuild is already there. |
