There is now an ebuild in Gentoo's bugzilla, so you could use Portdir_Overlay and provide some much needed testing. I'd link to the Gentoo Wiki for how to do it but it's been spammed, so here goes & of course do the commands without the quotes: Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to /usr/local/portage Download dekagen-1.0.2.tar.gz and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles Login as root and do a "mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-cdr/dekagen" Then cd to the dekagen directory you just created. Run "ebuild dekagen-1.0.2.ebuild digest" in the dekagen directory. Add "app-cdr/dekagen ~x86" to /etc/portage/package.keywords Finally, do an "emerge dekagen" and it should work. Good luck. -G.Y. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
