[gentoo-dev] Getting $SRC_URI in a bash program

[Viktor Lakics]

Hi devs,

I am learning bash, and since I run gentoo, I thought the best way
to learn is manipulate ebuilds:-)).

How can I extract the value of SRC_URI from a given ebuild in  a
bash program? Do I have to call emerge or ebuild somehow!? What I
would like is to get the exact URL or just the basename of the file
as a string to manipulate my distfiles.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
