What about this link: rpm --> ebuild ?
a tool that generates an ebuild from a
rpm package?

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/
src_unpack/rpm-sources/index.html


Does this work?
Am I miss interpreting the .rpm to ebuild conversion
process?

Anyone with any experience with this approach?
(there is a robust and current rpm for jffnms)


James
