cc'ing ppc64 team.
Comment 2 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-03 12:34:53 UTC
I have not found ebuilds for this in portage.

Are there only .rpms available? Should the .rpms be added to portage?

Markus

I do not believe they are available in another format.

rpm packages won't work and I didn't get an answer from IBM back, where I asked
them for the sources. (fedora has them on their mirrors!)

Seems the tar.gz haven't made it to the distfiles mirrors yet? When can I get the tar.gz?
Comment 8 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-11 07:12:33 UTC
sorry.. I already uploaded it two days ago, but with wrong rights set. so it never hit the script which puts those files into distfiles/.

Should be in there in a few hours.
Comment 9 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-14 20:59:08 UTC
