Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm currently evaluating some exotic packages in the portage tree |
4 |
and found out that they're almost 2 years old, don't compile or |
5 |
crash immediately. |
6 |
When I go to their home page or forums, I see that lots of new |
7 |
versions have been released. |

|
9 |
What to do about this? I'm not going back to the early 90's to |
10 |
play around with tarballs, ./configure, make && make install and |
11 |
after a few months end up in the hell of shared library |
12 |
dependencies and systems being polluted beyond repair. |
13 |
|
14 |
After all, that's why I've choosen Gentoo in the first place. |
15 |
|
16 |
Should I |
17 |
- kindly ask somebody to do something about it? |
18 |
- try to make an ebuild from a tarball? |
19 |
- something else? |
20 |
|
21 |
Thanks for your advice! |
22 |
Hans. |
