Hello Spiro,

Currently OCAL is not included as a gentoo ebuild by us or Gentoo. This
is on our radar however as can be witnessed by this bug:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3583

The best way to install the clip art currently is to download a tarball
or bzip2 of the current release, unpackage and then move it to where you
would like.

With this coming release we will start including a Makefile to install
the clipart on people's systems.

For now I would say just use it where you unpackage it. Otherwise, you
can move it to /usr/share/clipart/ where we will install clip art by
default.

Does this help you?

If you have any experience developing ebuilds or working with the Gentoo
community on getting the project into portage, then please help us
out :)

Thanks,
Jon
