Hello Everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I will begin by stating my problem. I have the source code (in |
| 7 |
*.tar.bz2 format) for a couple of pieces of software that are not in the |
| 8 |
Portage tree at all. I would like to compile and install them in such a |
| 9 |
way that I can use them, and even so Portage recognizes them. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I have read the official Gentoo documentation regarding Portage, ebuilds |
| 12 |
and diverting from the Portage tree and while it gave me some ideas, it |
| 13 |
really didn't fully answer the question of exactly *how* to do what I want. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I am hoping that someone can provide me with resources - examples and/or |
| 16 |
a walkthrough would be especially helpful. I realize that the Gentoo |
| 17 |
team can only do so much and carefully test each package before putting |
| 18 |
it in the official tree. There are just some pieces of software that I |
| 19 |
want that are not even in the testing tree. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Regards, |
| 22 |
Chris |
