Hi devs, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just added a new pre-release version of Portage to gentoo-src (developers |
| 4 |
only) CVS that allows you to use USE variables in the SRC_URI as follows: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
SRC_URI="foo? ( http://www.foo.bar/meep.tar.gz )" |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
We will gradually start using these features. But right now I need testers. |
| 9 |
If MAINTAINER is set to "yes", then all the USE variables in the SRC_URI will |
| 10 |
default to "on", so that maintainers will be forced to test all SRC_URIs and |
| 11 |
also cause complete digests to be generated. You can also use the new "!foo?" |
| 12 |
syntax in SRC_URIs and soon in DEPENDS and RDEPENDS as well. This new version |
| 13 |
of Portage also adds archive size to the digest files and uses a new file-based |
| 14 |
DEPEND and RDEPEND passing method (for behind-the-scenes bash <-> python |
| 15 |
integration.) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
To test the new version of Portage, cvs update your gentoo-src module and copy |
| 18 |
bin/ebuild.sh to /usr/lib/portage/bin, and pym/portage.py to |
| 19 |
/usr/lib/portage/pym. |

Best Regards, |
