There's two ways to go about it. Since the MoBo is the same, I would run |
| 13 |
quickpkg then copy it over and emerge it on the new disk. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Alternatively, copy over the ebuild and any associated files, then copy over |
| 16 |
the source from distfiles and emerge it as you would normally emerge a |
| 17 |
package. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
However, dependencies ... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
There are build time and run time dependencies. The emerge will fail if build |
| 22 |
time dependencies are no longer available on the current portage tree and/or |
| 23 |
fail to run if run time dependencies are missing. In this case you'll have to |
| 24 |
fish these ebuilds out of the attic and try again. Some packages will create |
| 25 |
conflicts with the currently installed versions, which may become impossible |
| 26 |
to resolve. Which is why I originally suggested cloning an already working |
| 27 |
system with all its packages, rather than reinstalling. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Either way, give quickpkg a spin and see where that gets you. |
