Ok, here is what I did and my thinking behind it. We need to find the home page for this program. The way I do it is emerge -s <name of program> and I get this: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # emerge -s mod_security > Searching... > [ Results for search key : mod_security ] > [ Applications found : 1 ] > > * net-www/mod_security > Latest version available: 1.8.7 > Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] > Size of files: 305 kB > Homepage: http://www.modsecurity.org > Description: Intrusion Detection System for apache > License: GPL-2 > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # OK. We have the home page. Copy the address into a browser and go to it. When I get there, I see the download section so that is a great start. To make sure I get the right thing, I go to a console and type in emerge -fp <name of program>. For this one we need mod_security-1.8.7.ebuild. We find it and download it. Since we are not logged into our GUI as root, we need to either copy it over to /usr/portage/distfiles in a console or use another GUI file manager with root access. Copy that over to distfiles and try to emerge it and hope it works. I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this is what I have done a few times. Hope this helps.
