Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] Configuration files in a package
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 17:04:21

1 Hi everybody.
2
3 Suppose I have a costom package that contains some executables, data,
4 lib and config files:
5
6 /usr/bin/foo
7 /usr/share/foo/data
8 /usr/lib/libfoo.so
9 /etc/foo.cfg
10
11 Is there a way to tag some package files as "configuration files" (in
12 the custom ebuild with a custom function maybe) so that once the package
13 is installed I can do something like
14
15 # qpkg --get-cfg-files foo
16
17 and obtain a list like
18
19 /etc/foo.cfg
20
21 I'd like to have the same thing for library and executable files.
22
23 # qpkg --get-lib-files foo
24
25 /usr/lib/libfoo.so
26
27 Or maybe something that gives me a LIBS or CONFIG file in
28 /var/db/pkg/<category>/<app> filled with files that the ebuild tagged in
29 a special way.

31 Thanks.
