Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm about to start working on a new portage feature that allows you to run |
| 7 |
commands (basically, bash syntax) before a merge and after a successful |
| 8 |
merge. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
(At work, we have a lot of virtual hosts with auto-generated vhosts.conf files |
| 11 |
for apache, with configuration data stored in XML files and/or databases, and |
| 12 |
having them updated automatically on apache upgrades would ease maintenance |
| 13 |
burdens. :) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What I would like to do is add a new file to /etc/portage - package.hooks |
| 16 |
(open to suggestions on better names ;), which would contain category/package |
| 17 |
atoms and shell commands, ala: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
[atom] 'before' '(' shell code ')' or |
| 20 |
[atom] 'after' '(' shell code ')' or |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
e.g. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
net-www/apache after apache-update-vhosts |
| 25 |
net-www/apache after (foo && do-bar || die "do-bar failed") |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Where atom's marked with before would run before the merge, and packages with |
| 28 |
after (or none specified) would be run after the merge. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Before I start, does this feature sound useful for other gentoo'ers? :) If |
| 31 |
I've also left out something really important (happens ;), please ask. =) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Comments, flames, etc, welcome. :) |
