Request Tracker (rt) version 3.6.0 was released June 15 (release announcement see "URL" field). I've tried to modify the existing 3.4.5 ebuild, and it looks pretty good (read: gets installed without errors). Here's what I did: 1. Copy ebuild to local portage tree (and add PORTDIR_OVERLAY='/usr/local/portage' to make.conf if not there already): # mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/www-apps/rt/files # cp /usr/portage/www-apps/rt/rt-3.4.5.ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-apps/rt/rt-3.6.0.ebuild (You may also simply download the attached ebuild to that location.) 2. Modify package dependencies. New deps are dev-perl/Calendar-Simple, dev-perl/GD, dev-perl/GDGraph, dev-perl/GDTextUtil. dev-perl/dbix-searchbuilder-1.39 is now required at least. 3. Two of these dependencies are ~x86 and have to be allowed first: # echo -e 'dev-perl/dbix-searchbuilder\ndev-perl/Calendar-Simple'>>/etc/portage/package.keywords 4. Copy required files to portage overlay: # cp /usr/portage/www-apps/rt/files/[^3]* /usr/local/portage/www-apps/rt/files/ # cp -R /usr/portage/www-apps/rt/files/3.4.5 /usr/local/portage/www-apps/rt/files/3.6.0 5. Create digest # ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-apps/rt/rt-3.6.0.ebuild digest 6. emerge rt I've not yet tested whether the installed package actually works, but I don't see why it shouldn't. I'll report as soon as possible.
