There is now an ebuild in Gentoo's bugzilla, so you could use Portdir_Overlay |
| 17 |
and provide some much needed testing. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I'd link to the Gentoo Wiki for how to do it but it's been spammed, so here goes |
| 20 |
& of course do the commands without the quotes: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to /usr/local/portage |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Download dekagen-1.0.2.tar.gz and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Login as root and do a "mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-cdr/dekagen" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then cd to the dekagen directory you just created. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Run "ebuild dekagen-1.0.2.ebuild digest" in the dekagen directory. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Add "app-cdr/dekagen ~x86" to /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Finally, do an "emerge dekagen" and it should work. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Good luck. |
