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.

quickpkg.

Which has been mentioned hundreds of times on this list alone.


That's not portage but it will work just fine and is what I am looking for. I just need to read the right man page next time. ;-)

Thanks much.
