OK, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to do something really, really simple.

I have all of the files unpacked. Now I just want to create a directory and copy them there.
Here's the normal, non-ebuild bash commands:

   mkdir /usr/share/castpodder
   cp -f -R * /usr/share/castpodder

Which naturally cause an emerge access violation (mkdir apparently is not allowed).

I've tried everything I can think of using too many permutations of the do* commands and just can't hit the right combination. I've looked at several ebuilds and can't find one similiar
enough to hack from.  Just not my lucky day.

Any hints would be much appreciated or some documentation of these functions better than
the ebuild howto.

Thank you,
Roy
