This could just be a language barrier issue, but it isn't entirely |
20 |
clear to me what the question is, and whether it has been answered. |
21 |
|
22 |
The original question doesn't seem to have anything to do with Gentoo, |
23 |
so I'm not sure why we're talking about "Gentoo's library versions." |
24 |
|
25 |
If the intent really was to ask how to fetch ubuntu packages for use |
26 |
with ubuntu then it would probably make more sense to ask about it on |
27 |
an Ubuntu list/forum/etc. |
28 |
|
29 |
If this is a Gentoo question and the submitter is just unfamiliar with |
30 |
Gentoo and is using Ubuntu terminology that is fine, but I think it |
31 |
would be helpful to have a bit more clarification, such as what the |
32 |
end goal is. Are we asking for tarballs of sources (distfiles)? Are |
33 |
we asking for binary packages? Is this a question about generating |
34 |
ebuilds for versions not in the main repo? Is this about how to get a |
35 |
.deb made for Ubuntu working on Gentoo? |
36 |
|
37 |
I think everybody is trying to be helpful, but is interpreting the |
38 |
question differently. Perhaps the original submitter already got the |
39 |
answer they're looking for, which is fine. |
