[gentoo-user] Emerge building a binary from installed package

[Dale]

Hi,

I think there is a way to do this but it's not sticking out at me on the 
emerge man page.  I'm doing a install and want to build a binary package 
from my running system and install it on the new install.  Basically, I 
don't want to recompile, I just want emerge to copy the correct files 
and make a tarball for me.

I found the buildpkg option but that seems to compile it first then make 
a tarball.  Can I get it to skip the compile part?  Is that a option 
that portage has?

Thanks.

Dale
