22 Volker,
23 Thanks. I've not used quickpkg before but it seems like a very good
24 short term solution.
25
26 If I understand correctly I'd do something more or less like this?
27
28 1) quickpkg =qt-3.3.8xxxxxxx This creates the binary package and
29 stores it in /usr/portage/package. I've done this step and the package
30 is there.
31
32 2) emerge -C =qt-3.3.8xxxxx to remove the original. Easy when I do it.
33
34 3) emerge -pvg =qt-3.3.8b-r2 to get it to use the quickpkg version
35
36 This all seems to work but it complains a bit about PORTAGE_BINHOST
37 not being set. As best I can tell that's only for using another
38 machine to get the binary? Is that true? Is seems from these commands
39 that it's finding the one I just made. Or is there a format for doing
40 this and pointing at a local directory?
41
42 firefly ~ # emerge -pvg =x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r2
43
44 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
45
46 Calculating dependencies !!! PORTAGE_BINHOST unset, but use is requested.
47 ... done!
48 [binary R ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r2 USE="cups ipv6 mysql opengl
49 -debug -doc -examples (-firebird) -immqt -immqt-bc -nas -nis -odbc
