[gentoo-user] How to install a pkg without all dependencies?

With the understanding that changes between the version it's asking for and what you've built on your end (which probably should be done with a custom ebuild when it impacts as many things as emacs tends to) might well break whatever's trying to use it, you can use package.provided to convince portage that whatever dependency it's looking for is already in place. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.

As Poison instructed: package.provided or then get emacs-.ebuild that uses the bzr and installs straight from emacs trunk. You can easily find one or write your own ebuild. It's really straight forward. -- -Matti
