Hello All, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have been fiddling with Portage for a few weeks now. Recently, I was |
4 |
trying to get the RPM creation with ebuild to work a little better. I |
5 |
noticed that currently emerge does not support building RPMs, but ebuild |
6 |
does. |
7 |
|
8 |
I have added some code to emerge that can build RPM for a package and |
9 |
all its dependencies. It will optionally merge the package to the system |
10 |
or just build an RPM. I am basically making this work very similar to |
11 |
the --buildpkg and --buildpkgonly options. |
12 |
|
13 |
I am using --buildrpm (-r) and --buildrpmonly (-R) options currently for |
14 |
these two tasks. However, if those two short options are reserved for |
15 |
some other purpose, I am fine with changing them. (If so, please suggest |
16 |
different short options). |
17 |
|
18 |
If this functionality is likely to be useful to other people also, I |
19 |
would love to submit a patch. |
20 |
|
21 |
I think I have somewhat older version of portage. Which version should I |
22 |
build the patch against, if I have to? |
23 |
|

Thanks, |
