So, I've tried making a media-sound/kaconnect directory and putting the files in there. emerge -p kaconnect then tells me it's an option to install, but when I try to do an emerge kaconnect I'm told there is no Manifest file (seems to be just a warning) and then it fails saying there's no package digest file. Bravely I type ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/kaconnect/kaconnect-1.1.1.ebuild digest and then do the emerge again. I get farther, but fail with it not finding the patch file. I then move the patch file to .../kaconnect/files, try the emerge again, and it works! Problem solved! cheers, MArk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
