Hello fellow devs, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've created a script to help me keep my tree/overlays up-to-date, |
| 4 |
automatically regenerate metadata, update eix, etc. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It's not anything too sophisticated, but it works for me, so I thought |
| 7 |
I'd share it with you guys. |

An updated version of the script is available at my gentoo devspace: |
| 10 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~wired/scripts/update |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
./update -h gives you all available options |
| 13 |
edit the script to set the defaults to your liking. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
the script expects the following directory structure: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
${DATA_DIR}/ |
| 18 |
main/ |
| 19 |
gentoo-x86/ |
| 20 |
gentoo/ (optional) |
| 21 |
gentoo-news/ (optional) |
| 22 |
overlays/ |
| 23 |
{various overlays} |
| 24 |
overlays_disabled/ |
| 25 |
{overlays not used} |
| 26 |
make.conf |
| 27 |
autogenerated, holds active overlay list |
| 28 |
imported in /etc/make.conf |
| 29 |
${SCRIPT_OUTPUT} |
| 30 |
if called with -c, all output goes here |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
the make.conf is sourced in /etc/make.conf and is generated each time |
| 33 |
the overlays/ folder gets updated. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
the script is constantly improved and I keep the online version |
| 36 |
up-to-date. there are some options that diff/fetch the latest version |
| 37 |
for you automatically. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I'll probably add a --sync option soon to make it useful on |
| 40 |
systems without a CVS checkout. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
hopefully some of you will find it useful. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
patches and feedback always welcome :) |
