[gentoo-dev] Ebuilds w/o version numbers?

[gentoo-dev] Ebuilds w/o version numbers?

I am trying to package a commercial vendor's SDK as a ebuild, just
for the sake of having everything I use in portage. No, the problem is
that this particular vendor doesn't follow the standard OSS versioning
scheme. The tarball I download has a name like:

sdknamewithversion.architecture.tar.gz

In other words:

vedorsdk2.linux24.tar.gz

And ofcourse they also fail to put a proper directory structure below
that.. but that one I belive I can work around..

But how would I write a ebuild that works with that? Or do I have to
resolve to storing it locally and rename the tarball?

Best regards
 Michael Boman

Name the ebuild:
	foopackage-version.ebuild

Munge the SRC_URI like so:

SRC_URI="http:/stupidvendor/foopackage-${PV}-linux24.tar.gz"
