Some of you may already know about it but, now that it has been tested |
| 2 |
a bit more, felt should advertise here. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
It's small'ish scripts available from "app-portage/iwdevtools" |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
See github[1]'s README.rst for a lowdown (and --help or man pages for |
| 7 |
options), but for a quick overview: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
qa-vdb: |
| 10 |
Looks at VDB's (/var/db/pkg) information and suggest changes if |
| 11 |
something is unexpected, such as a used shared library that isn't |
| 12 |
in RDEPEND. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Can be optionally integrated with portage to display post-emerge: |
| 15 |
* QA: detected possibly incorrect RDEPEND |
| 16 |
* dev-db/sqlite < |
| 17 |
* dev-libs/glib | dev-libs/glib:2 |
| 18 |
* > media-libs/libogg |
| 19 |
* > sys-libs/readline:= |
| 20 |
(Says to remove sqlite, add :2, add missing libogg / readline. |
| 21 |
Will be optionally colored, like :2 in a different color.) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It's only suggestions and still needs someone to verify (e.g. |
| 24 |
dlopen() is unknown to the tool, or if a package uses bin/openssl |
| 25 |
executable and not its libraries), exclusion rules or disabling |
| 26 |
some checks entirely (like explicit :SLOT) can be done as needed |
| 27 |
if don't want to be nagged for your packages when you know it's |
| 28 |
right. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
qa-sed: |
| 31 |
Attempts to detect when a sed(1) command in an ebuild did nothing, |
| 32 |
indicating that it (probably) needs updating or cleanup. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
qa-cmp: |
| 35 |
Compares portage install images (tmp/<cat>/<pkg>/image) either with |
| 36 |
each others or with system's copy to give an overview of changes. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Can also be optionally integrated to display post-emerge: |
| 39 |
* QA: comparing =media-libs/libid3tag-0.15.1b-r4 with <snip> |
| 40 |
* FILES:+usr/lib64/cmake/id3tag/id3tagConfig.cmake |
| 41 |
* FILES:+usr/lib64/cmake/id3tag/id3tagConfigVersion.cmake |
| 42 |
* FILES:+usr/lib64/cmake/id3tag/id3tagTargets-gentoo.cmake |
| 43 |
* FILES:+usr/lib64/cmake/id3tag/id3tagTargets.cmake |
| 44 |
* FILES:-usr/lib64/libid3tag.so.0 |
| 45 |
* FILES:-usr/lib64/libid3tag.so.0.3.0 |
| 46 |
* FILES:+usr/lib64/libid3tag.so.${PV} |
| 47 |
* SONAME:-libid3tag.so.0(64) |
| 48 |
* SONAME:+libid3tag.so.0.16.1(64) |
| 49 |
* ------> FILES(+5,-2) SONAME(+1,-1) |
| 50 |
(In this example it's showing us the SONAME change needs some |
| 51 |
looking into. Can display/hide other information like simple |
| 52 |
size and ABI changes with abidiff(1), or simple full lists.) |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
eoldnew: |
| 55 |
Minor helper to emerge previous version then latest, can be useful |
| 56 |
with qa-cmp when old wasn't already installed. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
scrub-patch: |
| 59 |
This takes the devmanual's "clean patches" sed[2] and additionally |
| 60 |
performs basic checks on making patches a bit better and to spot a |
| 61 |
handful of possible oversights. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
These are still experimental but should usually work fine. |
| 64 |
More small tools may be added in the future. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
If any issues / questions / suggestions, feel welcome to mention them |
| 67 |
to me on Libera IRC (nick: ionen), github[1], or b.g.o as preferred. |
