Tool to test a Gentoo ebuild and its dependencies
This is a tool to test a Gentoo ebuild and its dependencies. The idea is that the ebuild is emerged in a clean (and current) stage3 Docker container.
- Installation
This snap uses the docker snap and needs to be connected via
snap connect ebuildtester:docker-executables docker:docker-executables
- Usage
We are going to assume that the user has a local git clone of the portage tree in
/usr/local/git/gentoo
We have added a new ebuild and would like to verify that the build dependencies are all correct. We can build the package (ATOM) with:
ebuildtester \
--portage-dir /usr/local/git/gentoo \
--atom ATOM \
--use USE1 USE2
where we have specified two USE flags, USE1 and USE2. The ebuildtester
command will now create a docker container and start installing the ATOM.
All specified dependencies will be installed as well.
For a full list of supported options run
ebuildtester --help
