Q: How can I create a local ebuild repository along with source tarballs? Is it possible to tell ebuild inside the .ebuild file that the SRC_URI file actually points to a file on the filesystem instead of a website? I tried putting in just the raw pathname but it tried to connect to some website and download the package instead of look locally. I tried with file:// prefix too and it didn't work. Is this even possible or nah? Will I have to actually publish the .tgz file somewhere so that portage can download it?
