The latest Digikam, 0.8.0_beta2. is already in portage, you just need to unmask it. -- Neil Bothwick I have a mind like a steel...uh...thingamajig... pgpFjkPdEZcQB.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Contributing to Portage
The Gentoo documentation on ebuilds is "after-the-fact". "Contributing Ebuilds: This guide explains how to submit ebuild packages through the Bugzilla tracking system." I did finally find it. Its apparently not in the gentoo documentation but there is a Wiki. Once I figured out the appropriate search term is "ebuild" I was able to turn up some decent google results.

Check out the doc pages on Gentoo about creating ebuilds. You can use existing ones as models. > > From: John Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2005/10/06 Thu AM 11:15:32 EDT > To: Gentoo User > Subject: [gentoo-user] Contributing to Portage > > > I frequently need things installed from portage but the most recent > version is not available.

[gentoo-user] Contributing to Portage
I frequently need things installed from portage but the most recent version is not available. (digikam is a recent example). I'd be happy to grab the most recent stable source and make it work in Gentoo Portage and contribute it... Is there a How-To for this? My apologies, I know this must be someplace but for the life of me I can't find it. -- John Lange -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
