The quickpkg is a tarball, it does not contain an ebuild. It only |
| 12 |
contains the files installed by the ebuild. |

You have to have the copy of the ebuild somewhere else. This only makes |
| 15 |
sense as the way to re-install the pkg is "emerge -k <some_pkg>", so you |
| 16 |
have to have the ebuild first before using the quickpkg. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
A copy of the ebuild for the *currently*installed* package is in |
| 19 |
/var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>-<version>/*ebuild |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
You need to grab and store a copy of it before unininstalling it and |
| 22 |
before it is removed from portage. Failing that, you can always get a |
| 23 |
copy out of the Gentoo Attic (the URL for which I can never remember but |
| 24 |
Google doesn't have that problem) |
