Gentoo puts these in /opt. 2) Any type of binary you can get from anywhere (tarballs, etc.) that will run on your glibc/gcc level. As long as you put these in /opt or /usr/local, you're cool. Keeping track of them is your responsibility. 3) You could even use rpm or deb packages (cough, gasp, spit), but you should insure that these don't install to /usr to prevent corrupting the standard ebuild environment. 4) Use the sample ebuild skeleton to cooerce the binary package you have into ebuild format. Then, once you have it working properly, you can offer it up for others to use. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
