--------------------------------------- 1. Introduction --------------------------------------- This directory contains two ebuilds for UltraStar Deluxe - ultrastardx-9999.ebuild: a live ebuild using SVN sources - ultrastardx-1.1.ebuild: a snapshot ebuild that might be appended to the official portage someday --------------------------------------- 2. Create a portage overlay --------------------------------------- If you want to try one of the ebuilds (at the moment only use the live ebuild) you must have a portage overlay. In case you do not have one or do not know what it is, see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild Normally this can be achieved (as root) with: mkdir -p /usr/local/portage && echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf --------------------------------------- 3. Add the USDX ebuild to your overlay --------------------------------------- First create the directory structure (as root): mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/games-arcade/ultrastardx Now copy the (live) ebuild to the new directory: cp ultrastardx-9999.ebuild /usr/local/portage/games-arcade/ultrastardx Go to the overlay directory: cd /usr/local/portage/games-arcade/ultrastardx Create a manifest: ebuild ultrastardx-9999.ebuild manifest And you are done! Now you can emerge USDX with: emerge ultrastardx -av
