Well, you can install RPM... |
16 |
|
17 |
# emerge -p rpm |
18 |
|
19 |
You could then, presumably, install the RPM, though I have not ever tried |
20 |
this: |
21 |
# rpm -i foopackage.i386.rpm |
22 |
|
23 |
Use AYOR (at your own risk...), as I have no idea what repercussions this may |
24 |
have. Does RPM have a --pretend option? |
25 |
|
26 |
I have used `ebuild`s 'rpm' target to make RPMs of software with ebuilds which |
27 |
is essentially the opposite of what you want. Works good. |
