Gentoo Linux Installation Instructions - 2005.07.18

WARNING: You must have a Portage Directory Overlay properly in place (/usr/local/portage) to install remerge from the ebuild.

1. Download this file: remerge-2.1.1-ebuild.tar.bz2

2. Extract and install the ebuild by running the following command at a terminal:

tar -xjf remerge-2.1.1-ebuild.tar.bz2
sudo cp -r remerge-2.1.1-ebuild/* /usr/local/portage/

3. Install remerge by running the following commands at a terminal:

sudo emerge remerge

If you saw any errors in the output of the previous command (or the next one) that remerge's installer did not ignore, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net with the full text of the error and as much information about your machine and OS as you are willing to send me.

su -c "/etc/init.d/remerge start"

4. Launch your favorite web browser, and open the page http://localhost:6732. You should see the remerge front page appear - if you do not, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net.

You must now click on 'Sync Package Lists' and follow the on-screen instructions. When this is complete, have fun with remerge!
