Ebuild Installation

Warning: since the ebuilds provided in this site are not from the Gentoo project, any problems you may have with those ebuild must be reported to me. Otherwise the problem won't be fixed.

  1. Download the latest ebuild tarball (either epdfview-<version>.ebuild.tar.gz or epdfview-<version>.ebuild.tar.bz2).
  2. Set the path to the portage overlay (for example, /usr/local/portage) to the PORTDIR_OVERLAY line in the /etc/make.conf file.
  3. Create the portage overlay path and add the app-text category:
    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-text
    
  4. Unpack the ebuild tarball inside the app-text category:
    sudo tar xvzf epdfview-<version>.ebuild.tar.gz -C /usr/local/portage/app-text
    
    or
    
    sudo tar xvjf epdfview-<version>.ebuild.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local/portage/app-text
    
  5. Append the ePDFView to the /etc/portage/package.keywords file as follows:
    app-text/epdfview ~x86
    
  6. Emerge ePDFView:
    emerge -pv epdfview
    sudo emerge -v epdfview
