12 I have not tried this myself but you can try to copy $DISTDIR/svn-src
13 to $WORKDIR and use 'ebuild name-of-the-ebuild.ebuild
14 {install,qmerge}' to install it manually. See 'man ebuild' for
15 reference.

17 Maybe you should do 'ebuild name-of-the-ebuild.ebuild unpack' before
18 so hopefully all other stuff in $WORKDIR is created besides the work
19 folder itself which fails because of the missing sources. Then copy
20 the sources manually and run install and qmerge.
