Yahoo! delivers its ymessenger chat client as an rpm, which is fine to install if rpm is installed. However, I would rather have one package manager on my system instead of two, so I created an ebuild. It's so trivial, I am ashamed of even putting it up. But, it worked on my system, so if someone out there could use it, here it is.
Created attachment 190 [details] ebuild for ymessenger
PATH=/opt/Yahoo That's in ${FILESDIR}/10yahoo
Hi again, This is actually the new, improved ebuild. It contains accurate copyright info, and none of that P= and A= nonsense that the attachment contains. Please accept this as the submission instead.
