Just a thought... I think you could use alien to convert the rpm to a tar.gz, |
17 |
then use "emerge /path/to/whatever.tar.gz". (IIRC that's a way you can |
18 |
install a binary package...). That should make portage aware of the package |
19 |
being installed, but I think that you must install the deps by hand... |
