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
