NAME
qmerge - fetch and merge binary package
SYNOPSIS
qmerge
[opts] <pkgnames>
DESCRIPTION
qmerge retrieves and installs Gentoo binary packages. Simple
dependency checking is performed, after which qmerge just unpacks
the binpkg onto the filesystem and registers the package in the VDB.
Retrieval of packages from a remote binhost is currently performed using
wget(1). More specifically, FETCHCOMMAND is ignored.
