 |
|
I'm planning to install Axigen but I am always a bit hesitant to install something without using portage. Installation looks pretty simple, I wonder though how do I monitor which files the installer puts where? In case something goes wrong it would be nice to be able to backtrace what exactly happended during installation.
| Code: | 1. New Installation
===================
The installaton kit consists in the INSTALL, README, LICENSE, LICENSE-others,
UNINSTALL, RELEASE-NOTES.txt, prepare.sh, axigen-6.1.0.ebuild,
and axigen-6.1.0.i386.tar.gz files.
In order to install the ebuild package, you must follow (while logged in as
root) the steps described below, from the same directory as the ebuild
file:
./prepare.sh
emerge axigen
After the installation, no daemons or related application will be started. |

wrap a simple ebuild, best way really. You then know exactly what files are being installed and thus easy to remove
might take a few goes but its worth it

Fortunately the Axigen folks provide an ebuild (why I have to run /prepare.sh remains a mystery to me). But is there a way to track which files get installed?
