Hi Denis, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Use the "ebuild" command to execute the steps of emerging |
| 18 |
separately... read the manpage for the available options, but for |
| 19 |
example you can do something like: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild unpack |
| 22 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild prepare |
| 23 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild configure |
| 24 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild compile |
| 25 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild preinst |
| 26 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild install |
| 27 |
ebuild /usr/portage/foo-bar/yourpkg-1.2.3.ebuild postinst |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
and in-between those steps you can change to your portage tmpdir and |
| 30 |
edit the unpacked source files and do whatever you need to do to them. |
