finally got back to trying to build xen on gentoo using the 2.0.1 ebuild:

unfortunately, it can't find the xen tarball and, quite frankly, I'm not
sure where to put all the other pieces and whether or not I need to
build manifest etc. etc.
its beginning to look like it might be easier to just build everything
from raw bits and reinstall xen anytime I do an update via emerge.
couldn't bring myself to the things the raw bits way so I decided to go
from zero knowledge on ebuilds to some knowledge.
this is what I've learned so far (yes, some of this is ebuild 101):
understand the directory hierarchy of an ebuild input files and the
right place. This means the *.ebuild and Manifest are in the "top"
directory of that particular ebuild and all datafiles go in "files".
get all the files local and into the /usr/portage/distfiles and
directory. The new tarballs for xen and xen-sources are placed into
/usr/portage/distfiles by hand just to make things easier.
don't be afraid to hack the hardcoded version numbers in your ebuilds
like xen-sources-2.6.9.ebuild. and sometimes, just sometimes it really
is a question of the knowing when to give up. ;-)

The basis of Abelard's philosophy, which he taught to Heloise, was
that logic had to be applied to religion in order to arrive at the
truth.
