I intend to get the Silicon Dust HDHomerun dual tuner box. It has a
linux library and CLI plus a separate gtk+ GUI. The linux source comes
with a makefile that puts stuff in /usr/local. But I want at least a
"wrapper" ebuild so that Portage knows about the files, and can manage
them. I'd prefer to write my own ebuild rather than depend on somebody
else to always have the most recent version supported somwehere in
layman. I've RTFM'd a lot, including
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/index.html but am still
unsure about a few things. Here's my setup so far...
* The latest file is
http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20100213.tgz
(underscore instead of hyphen, bleagh).
* I've set PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in /etc/make.conf
* I've actually created /usr/local/portage/media-tv
* my ebuild file in media-tv is named libhdhomerun-20100213.ebuild
* here it is so far...

doins *.h
}
Now for the questions...
1) do I need to create /usr/local/portage/distfiles?
2) the provided Makefile is supposed to put everything into the
/usr/local hierarchy. Does portage/emerge over-ride that, and if so,
what do I have to do to get send all files to the /usr/local hierarchy?
3) any glaring errors ?
I intend to pick it up next week, so I won't be able to test it
immediately. I do want my laptop to be ready to go when I bring the
tuner box home.
