I'm trying to create an ebuild for forte from Sun's RPM. I run rpm2cpio on the rpm, which creates a 'usr/local/forte4j' dir structure from where I am. All that is left is to copy that forte4j directory into my destination (/usr/local/forte4j normally). However it appears that with 'doins' I cannot recursively copy directories and their subdirectories and their subdirectories of subdirectories. Is this really the case? Is there another procedure for doing this? The subdirectories structure of forte is pretty heavy and having to list each directory would be ridiculous.
gentoo policy is to not install into the /usr/local tree at all if it is a binary package, and I suspect that it is, it should go into /opt somewhere; I assume /opt/forte4j try mv'ing things
Ah you are correct. My apologies. Next trick for me is to sed the runide file to point to /opt instead of /usr/local. Hard-coding is fun! Please close.
