Can someone refresh my memory how to emerge application pointing to local source file?
I need to re-emerge: asterisk-addons-1.4.7
but it does not seems to exist on any mirror (I have in may make.conf), I found asterisk-addons-1.4.7.tar.gz file but I need to point emerge to local file
instead.

You put the tarball in /usr/portage/distfiles.

Apparently, though unproven, at 00:09 on Monday 13 September 2010, Nikos
Chantziaras did opine thusly:

I think he's asking about the ebuild. The version he wants is not in portage.
Joseph,
If you have the package *already* installed and want to remerge it, there's a
local copy of the ebuild in
/var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>-<version>
copy it from there to your local overlay and remerge as normal.
If you unmerged the package already, then the ebuild is gone. Maybe you have a
backup. There's also an svn attic somewhere where everything that was ever in
portage is stored. I don;t know where it is, but Google does. Search for it.

Yes, that did the trick, thank you!
