19 ssl is in my make.conf file, furthermore, checking wget:

30 OK so I put RealPlayer-10.0.6.776-20050915.i586.rpm into /usr/portage/distfiles
31 and it's installed with 'emerge realplayer'.
32
33 This is a new trick for me!
34 Can I download any rpm, stick it in this directory
35 and it will install with emerge?
36 Details or a wiki on this subject?
37
38 What do I do about updates? Just grab the latest rpm and repeat the process?
39
40 Any permanent fixes so it just emerges like the other packages?
