Is there plans for Meteor to support Gentoo?

Question

I operate Gentoo systems, will Meteor support for Gentoo be available at some point? Is there a way I can install on Gentoo now?

Thank you Chuck

Answer 1

Will Meteor support for Gentoo be available at some point?

Meteor is now available in Portage, currently keyworded unstable.

Is there a way I can install on Gentoo now?

Yes, you can execute the following commands to install it:

echo "www-servers/meteor" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
emerge --sync 
emerge -av www-servers/meteor

Please file any problems you encounter with it at bugs.gentoo.org. For generic help with Gentoo or Portage you can try the IRC channel #gentoo on the FreeNode network, or their forums.

I recommend you to use Zugaina everytime you need to search for a package not yet available in the "gentoo" overlay. As I write this Zugaina returns results for "meteor". If it wouldn't, you could search bugs.gentoo.org for user contributed ebuilds, like this.

If you ever need to do a new ebuild/package request, please go to bugs.gentoo.org, select the "ebuild" Component, provide some info about the package you're requesting (name, website, ...) and hit submit.
