Subject: Re: [Shorewall-users] cannot emerge shorewall ebuild
 
Hi,
 
this is not really a shorewall or shorewall-nft question, but rather a Gentoo 
question, so it might be better suited for the Gentoo forums. 
 
Some advice:
Here's the direct link to the Gentoo handbook on how to create a local 
repository:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/CustomTree#Creating_a_custom_ebuild_repository
This will also create the necessary masters attribute. 
 
For using this repository, please also take note of the necessary steps when 
adding an ebuild there:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Creating_an_ebuild_repository#Adding_an_ebuild_to_an_ebuild_repository
 
This should be sufficient to get you going. Of course, it might be useful to 
have shorewall-nft inside an overlay (e.g. Gentoo GURU) at some point in case 
someone has the time to maintain it there, then adding this overlay will be 
sufficient without creating a local repository. 
 
Cheers,
Oliver

Hi.  I downloaded the shorewall nft from github, but emerge would not copy
the ebuild when I put it in /usr/local/portage.  I am obviously  missing a
step, it wants a repository or something, just copying the ebuild I get the
message reposity usr is missing masters attribute, so I am stuck.  I guess I
need to put it somewhere else, but where?

Thanks.
