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.
This snap uses the docker snap and needs to be connected via
snap connect ebuildtester:docker-executables docker:docker-executables
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

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install ebuildtester, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ebuildtester
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
