Hi, |
52 |
|
53 |
sorry for my horrific bad English. I will try to explain, what I |
54 |
intended to do, again. Hopefully this time with more success: |
55 |
|
56 |
There is a package, which is "selfcontained". As an example here: |
57 |
Blender, which can easily be downloaded from builder.blender.org as |
58 |
*.bz2 archives, is also "selfcontained" as it includes everything, |
59 |
what it needs to run successfully. |
60 |
|
61 |
Despite the fact, that this way of packaging makes a software quite |
62 |
independant from the layout of the distribution it will be installed |
63 |
on, the maintainer of that package only support Debian/Ubunto and |
64 |
has publishes onlu the commands needed to instruct the package |
65 |
management system of thoses systems to install that software -- as |
66 |
mentioned -- on Debian/Ubuntu-like systems. |
67 |
|
68 |
As I am using Gentoo and wanted that package and didn't found any |
69 |
other source and this package uses qt4 (included), I asked on this |
70 |
mailing list for help, how to get access to the physical package, |
71 |
which I wanted to unpack (low level) and try to get it working |
72 |
somehow. |
73 |
|
74 |
I dont asked on a Debian/Ubuntu mailing list as these are for |
75 |
questions about -- beside other related things -- installing |
76 |
packages on Debian/Ubuntu. |
77 |
|
78 |
I asked on this mailing list, since I wanted to run that |
79 |
Debian/Ubuntu package on a Gentoo system. |
80 |
|
81 |
Cheers |
