[edit] Download packages

There is an ebuild available from here

To install please do the following:

Note: These instructions assume you are using portage. If you are using paludis or pkgcore adjust these directions to meet the needs of your package manager. The necessary files in profile/ and .cache/ are provided to support these alternatives.

  1. Change to a reasonable directory:
    cd /usr/local
  2. Get the overlay:
    wget -r -x -nH --cut-dirs=2 -np -R index.* -q http://dev.gentoo.org/~dostrow/downloads/bongo/
  3. Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY to /usr/local/bongo in /etc/make.conf:
    PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/bongo"
    • For the latest released version run (as root):
      echo "net-mail/bongo" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
    • For the live Subversion version run (as root):
      echo "net-mail/bongo **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
  4. Check if you want to set any USE flags:
    emerge -pv bongo
  5. Install Bongo:
    emerge bongo
  6. Follow the instructions at the tail of the build to configure Bongo.

Once you have installed Bongo, you must then install a webserver if you do not already have one installed. If you do, then you may continue on to configuring Bongo.
