Thanks for any suggestions.
I think I read that Deer Park is the name for Firefox that is used to get an GPL-type liscense - but is really Firefox. I have several packages that I maintain 'manually' (outside of portage) and I have experienced no portage 'confusion', i.e. Apache 2.2, mod_perl, mysql-5.1.5-alpha, etc. I install them to /usr/local and portage doesn't care. -- Aloha => Beau; -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
