[gentoo-user] How to make binary Asterisk package

[Thelma]

How to make net-misc/asterisk-16.30.1 into binary package so I can install in on future gentoo boxes.

I think asterisk ver. 16 (still in portage) is the last one still compatible with sip/iax code all future versions starting with ver.18 are converting sip => pjsip
that is not compatible with older sip hardware.

So if I install Gentoo on a new box and asterisk-16 is no longer in portage I would like to install asterisk from my local binary.

You can still use regular sip in asterisk 18.
