Hi Rick (well I hope you're reading cause if you're not then I'm
guessing no one is),
Anyway - I've updated the ebuild - it now supports the sandbox and
configures the system fully - all dependancies installed and required
services added to autostart.
Now you pass a path to the installer .tar.gz instead of copying it
anywhere also.
XSI_INSTALL_SRC="/path/to/installer" XSI_SPM_SERVER="servername" emerge xsi
Foundation users can add a USE="foundation" before the emerge. Also if
you want to install to a custom path add
XSI_INSTALL_LOC="/my/install/path"
As before extract it into your portage overlay then emerge away.
Digest is already in the .tar.gz so you won't need to ebuild it
yourself.
Cheers,
Alan.
