 |
|
A friend and me have 2 equal machines (same flags, same specs) running gentoo.
Compiling some packages as mozilla and xfree is a pain in the butt, so I'd like to know if there's an easy way to one of us compile it and then send the binaries to the other who will install them in a easy way.
What I mean (and here goes a portage suggestion) is we could have some emerge option that would compile the package only and make a tarball out of it, and then an option to install a package from that tarball (skipping the compile parts in ebuilds).
What do you think ?
Or is there any wasy way to do this, at the moment ? |

I believe what you're looking for is:
| Code: | | emerge -B <package-name> |
to build a binary package and
| Code: | | emerge -K <package-name> |
to install from a binary package.
for more info as the man page seems a bit out of date

Well, it's not entirely your fault.
is seriously out of date, but
is pretty good. |
