Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just committed sys-apps/portage-1.5_pre7, a brand new *test* |
| 4 |
version of Portage with recursive merging capability. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Here's how to install it. First, update your /usr/portage tree. |
| 7 |
Then, do the following: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# cd /etc |
| 10 |
# rm make.conf.eg |
| 11 |
# rm make.defaults.eg |
| 12 |
(if they exist, that is) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
# cd /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage |
| 15 |
# ebuild portage-1.5_pre7.ebuild merge |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# cd /etc |
| 18 |
# ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default make.profile |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The _beta_ recursive merging capability can be used as follows. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# emerge --pretend foo-1.0.ebuild |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This will show you the ebuilds that will be merged to install this |
| 25 |
particular ebuild. Build deps will be listed first, then runtime |
| 26 |
deps. There may be duplicates in the runtime deps list; this is |
| 27 |
normal. The package in question won't be installed twice, since |
| 28 |
this dependency will be satisfied by the time emerge gets to the |
| 29 |
runtime deps. To do the "real" install: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
# emerge foo-1.0.ebuild |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
:))) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'm currently using emerge on cvs.gentoo.org, with success. |
| 36 |
It will also work (not with full profile support yet) if you do |
| 37 |
this: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
# export ROOT=/mnt/gentoo |
| 40 |
# emerge foo-1.0.ebuild |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
All build dependencies will be installed to "/" and all runtime |
| 43 |
dependencies will be installed to "/mnt/gentoo" :))) |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Enjoy, |
| 46 |
