Also, devs who work on the vendetta-linux-installer.sh, it'd be nice if there was an option to JUST extract the user files into the home dir, instead of having to install the binary too.

Unless there already is and I just didn't find it...

Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I manually install this ebuild?
It's not in the official portage tree...

The Gentoo Wiki says how: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds

Thanks... that seemed to work, still getting a gtk lib error as described in my other post though...

Can you make the ebuild depend on the 32-bit version of gtk-1.2 if you happen to be using a 64-bit platform (I have no idea how this works)?

Fixxored ebuild made. Posting to bugzilla shortly.

KEYWORDS="x86 amd64"

should be ~x86 and ~amd64

IUSE don't have to contain amd64 (its implied by the keyword)

you prolly want
RDEPEND="virtual/x11
virtual/opengl
!amd64 ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
amd64? ( app-emualation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs )"

just to lithen the library dependencies on amd64 some.

The copyright is wrong .

you probably want a look inside the .sh file to see which the "real" DEPEND lines are, if they are using things that aren't in "system" on default setups.

Why would I mark it unstable?
The copyright line is correct.

Because no builds ever go in as "stable" without at least 2 weeks of testing, usually for ebuild ( ie, scripting and installation ) testing purpouses.

Copyright is wrong.
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

Which is a privately held company, and not :
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation

Which is the nonprofit that governs Gentoo.

That's odd. I copied the header directly from one of the gnome ebuilds (I find they're usually correct and good to copy from).

The header in the Gnome ebuilds are correct. They are based on the Gentoo Technologies work , back when I first wrote them in 2002 or so.

The new skeleton builds and all other copyrights that belong(ed) to Gentoo Technologies, Inc. is being phased over to the foundation.

:-)

I should read all those mailing lists I'm subscribed to...
