|
|
Hi fellow Gentoo'ers.
Lately my ISP have had trouble routing to american websites duo to trouble with a peering partner, so I am currently unable to connect to nice websites like gentoo-portage.com and gentoo-wiki.com. So I am unable to check use flag descriptions on the website. And couldn't really find any convenient way to get the descriptions for the use flags in a nice easy readable way. So I decided to throw together a script that utilized emerge (and eix on the side) together with the description files, to deliver these descriptions as easy as doing a eix or emerge search. And actually quite good performance.
So if you are interested in a Portage USE Flag descriptions "searcher", check it out at my blog: www.micdah.dk/2008/03/28/gentoo-portage-use-flag-descriptions/.
Here is an example screenshot to demonstrate: usef example.
Sorry I am linking, but a bit tirred, and kind of overkill to write the same stuff twice.
Any response, suggestions, bug reports etc is welcome. _________________ Best regards micdah

My suggestion is emerge gentoolkit, and run euse -i USE-FLAG-NAME
Code: |
punkid@Genbox ~/Desktop $ time euse -i samba
global use flags (searching: samba)
************************************************************
[- ] samba - Adds support for SAMBA (Windows File and Printer sharing)
local use flags (searching: samba)
************************************************************
no matching entries found
real 0m2.321s
user 0m1.259s
sys 0m0.203s
punkid@Genbox ~/Desktop $ time ./usef.sh samba
USE Flag search for 'samba' (net-fs/samba)
Found package: net-fs/samba-3.0.28a
Use flags: acl,automount,pam,python,readline,swat,winbind,ads,async,caps,cups,doc,examples,fam,ipv6,ldap,quotas,(-selinux),syslog",LINGUAS="-ja,pl
USE-flag descriptions:
* Global:
acl Adds support for Access Control Lists
pam DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip
python Adds support/bindings for the Python language
readline Enables support for libreadline, a GNU line-editing library that almost everyone wants
caps Use Linux capabilities library to control privilege
cups Add support for CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)
doc Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
examples Install examples, usually source code
fam Enable FAM (File Alteration Monitor) support
ipv6 Adds support for IP version 6
ldap Adds LDAP support (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
* Local:
automount Enables automount support
swat Enables support for swat configuration gui
winbind Enables support for the winbind auth daemon
ads Enable Active Directory support
async Enables asynchronous input/output
quotas Enables support for user quotas
real 0m9.772s
user 0m1.702s
sys 0m0.442s

Anyway, your script covers much more info than euse, nice script! _________________ My Blog | Latest Screenshot |
