Hello folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
I use this link for browsing ebuilds online[1]. It is escecially useful |
4 |
when non_gentoo folks are discussion how to compile from sources; |
5 |
particularly complex/compound compilations and or difficult codes |
6 |
(except java). I find myself always referring to online ebuilds when |
7 |
in discussions with folks who are not "blessed" with a gentoo system |
8 |
to view ebuilds. I often use ebuids as a roadmap for folks that |
9 |
are trying to compile things from soureces. Subliminally, there is the |
10 |
backdrop that folks should use gentoo for source_code development |
11 |
and testing. |
12 |
|
13 |
This fantastic repo has very old codes and often the newer codes are mulit-arch. |
14 |
|

|
16 |
What I cannot seem to find is this sort of organization, filtered |
17 |
by architecture. It's be really keen to see one just for arm and |
18 |
arm64. So the next time I talking about putting gnucash (for example) |
19 |
on a handheld (mips) device, it is easy to quickly find the correct ebuild |
20 |
from which to be a pedantic snob (just teasing). I do collide with |
21 |
egg_heads, quite often, unfortunately. Redhat and it's derivatives |
22 |
seem to collect such folks; but they admit how horrible those |
23 |
distros are for sourcecode efforts. |
24 |
|
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
Any git* repos that have a nice, logical frontend for organizing |
28 |
and visually parsing ebuilds, by arch, would be keen; particularly |
29 |
for arm64. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome. |
