I was trying to emerge some several files which had a dependency on java-sdk-docs. Below is the message from emerge. More information will follow. !!! dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0-r1 has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Please download jdk-6-doc.zip from * https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jdk-6-doc-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer * (select English and agree to the licence) and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles named as * jdk-6-doc-r1.zip. Notice the r1. Because Sun changes the doc zip file * without changing the filename, we have to resort to renaming to keep * the md5sum verification working for existing and new downloads. * * If emerge fails because of a md5sum error it is possible that Sun * has again changed the upstream release, try downloading the file * again or a newer revision if available. Otherwise report this to * http://bugs.gentoo.org/67266 and we will make a new revision. * Fetch failed for 'dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0-r1' * Messages for package dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0-r1: * Fetch failed for 'dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0-r1 So, I downloaded the file, renamed it and put it where it told me to. Then I found http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds and I am trying to follow that. I added PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/distfiles" to /etc/make.conf The first because the wki said to, and the second because that's where emerge's message told me to put the file I downloaded from Sun. I then added FEATURES="collision-protect ccache parallel-fetch" to /etc/male.conf for safety, even though I have no idea what it does. I then checked out features with emerge --info | grep FEATURES. It told me that /usr/local/portage did not exist. OK, so I created it. Now, that is where emerge told me to put the file, but the fact that gentoo did not even create that directory gives me pause. Bottom line: I am being told I need this dependency, and I am not sure how to proceed in creating my own Ebuild to install it. Am I even in the right ballpark here? Thanks, Bo Grimes
