Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wrote this script that list the changes for your installed packages |
| 4 |
when doing an 'emerge rsync'. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It has two problem, the first is that I don't know python so I wrote it |
| 7 |
in perl (maybe someone could translate it), and the second is that it's |
| 8 |
not very well written. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The second problem comes from the fact that a lot of ChangeLog are |
| 11 |
broken and not clearly formatted, so I attempt to reformat the |
| 12 |
changelog. It comes also from the fact that I'm not an expert in perl |
| 13 |
coding ;). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It would be great if it could be translated to python and integrated |
| 16 |
into emerge, but I'm sure there are better way to do what this script |
| 17 |
does. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The script takes the output of emerge rsync as input, then look for |
| 20 |
ChangeLog. If it found one line, it gets the name of the package and |
| 21 |
check in /var/db/pkg/ to see if it is installed and then get the |
| 22 |
installed version. |
| 23 |
It then output the ChangeLog, formatting it nicely and stopping at the |
| 24 |
currently installed version. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The script is attached to this mail. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
To use it do a emerge rsync | emerge-listchanges |
| 29 |

Bye bye. |
