Uncomment the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in /etc/make.conf. Then for each package you will ebuild create a subdirectory structure like portage has. You need /usr/local/portage/category/packagename
Where category is the category, such as net-fs and package name is the name of the package. For example - for xine you would have these directories. /usr/local/portage/media-libs/xine Under this create a files directory. Then make your ebuilds. > > From: Jon Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2004/01/19 Mon PM 12:09:16 GMT > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gentoo-user] local portage ? > > Hi, > I'm new to gentoo and just starting to make some of my own ebuilds. > I know that I need a local portage tree.
