Thanks. I created the directory structur in /usr/local/portage according to the one in the /usr/portage tree (only the stuff I needed) and copied the ebuild and digest files there, then I deleted it. After that I run emerge ... digest and this seems to work now. Can I copy the 2.4.22/23 also there? Currently I have them in the official gentoo tree so there would be no need for it, but at some point in the future it would vanish there as well. Shall I copy the files to local and delete them in the normal tree or shall I keep them there and let nature run its course? Would emerge be confused in that case because then I have two ebuilds with the same files. Or is it ok to delete them, but I guess with the next rsync they would be recreated there anyway. -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
