Hi all, |
| 2 |
here it is the patch to include all the emerde's features |
| 3 |
in the portage. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The portage I've patched is this: |
| 6 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/portage-cvs.tar.bz2 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
For those who don't know the story: |
| 9 |
Emerde is born on Septmber 2003. It is a port of the portage for |
| 10 |
slackware or generic distro. ( http://emerde.freaknet.org ) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In the while I've added various handy features. |
| 13 |
These are the additional features added in emerde: |
| 14 |
tgz support: A tgzfile must be a Slackware pkg. Emerde will resolve the |
| 15 |
tgz's dependences and will install it. |
| 16 |
pfile: Emerde will apply the specified action to all the packages listed in |
| 17 |
the pfile |
| 18 |
invulnerable: Updates all the packages which have suid binaries. |
| 19 |
slack-etc-update: |
| 20 |
Slackware configuration file updates handler. |
| 21 |
maketgz: Emerde will build Slackware's tgz packages for all ebuilds processed. |
| 22 |
quicksearch: The cp_all function in Emerde is rewritten to use /var/cadb, there's a |
| 23 |
significant improvement in all the functions that use cp_all (--search, |
| 24 |
sync, update cache etc...) |
| 25 |
skipit: Emerde allows you to skip to the next merge with the SIGINT signal or by |
| 26 |
pressing CTRL+c. |
| 27 |
Compilation resume: |
| 28 |
Emerde resumes an interrupted or aborted compilation without rebuild |
| 29 |
the pkg and restart the compilation. |
| 30 |
LAN-sync: The syncing of the portage can be done using another machine that had |
| 31 |
already done it. See ACTION:sync in the emerge(1) man page. |
| 32 |
--searchcontents: |
| 33 |
Emerde matches the search string against the contents field. The pkg's |
| 34 |
contents field contains a list of files and directories installed. |
| 35 |
This option is useful to know to what pkg a file or a directory belong. |
| 36 |
--showcontents: This option is the same as the --search one except that it shows all the |
| 37 |
contents file of the searched packages. |
| 38 |
--searchinstalled: |
| 39 |
It filter only installed pkg in the search result. |
| 40 |
buildworld: Rebuilds or updates the "world" file (/var/cache/edb/world) |
| 41 |
por2pkg: por2pkg converts entries in the portage's db to Slack's db entries. |
| 42 |
pkg2por: pkg2por converts entries in the Slack's db to portage's db entries. |
| 43 |
pordbcheck: Checks if the programs listed in the portage's db are really installed. |
| 44 |
initd-cfg: /etc/init.d editor. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If I can jump in the coding with you, I can live in peace with emerde |
| 47 |
because all the changes will be already built in and in the near future emerde won't |
| 48 |
be needed anymore. The goal is to make the portage distro independent. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I've tested successfully the patch. It all seems to work. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Well, it's simpler to talk with the code so I leave you with it... |
