Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] Hello

Hi George and all,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will post my next questions on gentoo-user 
mailing list.
Though I wish to do something similar to the kde-base, that might not 
solve the problem that I have.

I am trying to have a one-meta-package,  that contain the other 
packages, but I would not be exposing the other
packages on my download site. For example:

foo-1.0.0.ebuild will not be available to be downloaded from the 
download site, and even bar-1.0.0.ebuild.
They will be only available in the dummy-1.0.0.ebuild.

The kde-base has dependencies on the other kde-packages, and downloads 
them "independently" from the download site,
as they are exposed "independently".

My goal is to download one-meta-package, that has other packages 
self-contained. On the rpm side of the world
"rpm of rpms", so that I dont have to mantain the other packages on my 
download site, and one package download
will contain all the dependent packages within.

Thanks again,

Ashish
