Argh, that's the broken link I was talking about, thanks! However, it seems as if there is no "easy" way to perform it and there are still some questions for me: 1. This page provides no way to handle a binary-only rpm, just sources. Yet, sources are no problem since they should be available as a tarball or in portage itself while rpms of proprietary closed-source software are quiet common. I could transfer them into a .deb-archive using "alien" which leads me to problem number 2 ... 2. This page [1] tells me how to extract a .deb-package and that I "could just extract [its binaries] to /" But this doesn't help me because portage does not know about this package, its dependencies and so on. I could break my system quiet easily this way. [1] http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/deb-sources/index.html
