learn some manners huh? others were able to answer graciously and accurately On Mon, 2005-06-20 at 10:22 -0400, Mark Shields wrote: Perhaps his answer isn't clear enough.

The main difference between RPM files and ebuilds is that RPMs are precompiled binaries, whereas ebuilds are text files which contain a description of the software, and instructions on how to obtain, configure, compile, and install it.

New and updated ebuilds can be obtained by synchronizing the local ebuild repository with the mirrors. This is done by executing the command emerge --sync. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo. In short, you are not going to find an official binary packages for Gentoo, because there are none. Now, you can have someone you know compile them for you on a compatible system, and that will work.

Hi, This is one of the two binary places i read about, think (check) this one has packages build with -fstack-protector and it's more appropriate for hardened-users. There's another one in some dev's place (checked it's *avenj*) but it holds only packages for rescue operations. PS: chinstrap at the moment is also unavailable, due to technical reasons (checked).

Goodness gracious me! I know everything you just said! I was just wondering if anyone out here knows of a website that maintain a repository of application binaries for popular architectures such as the x86.
