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.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
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.
