 Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 12:01 pm Post subject: How to track emerges/unmerges/syncs on your desktop. |
 |
|
I was doing this manually at first, using xpad, then somebody asked me what script I was using ....that got me thinking. With some help from psyqil, who provided the LAST EMERGED command that I spent hours trying to figure out (thanks man), we got a nice little script that'll allow you to see your last few emerges, unmerges, and your last sync.
This parses portage's log pretty clearly. Make sure you can run this as a user (sudo works for me).
We all know what this does, right? 
edit your .torsmorc as follows (this is just the pertinent part):
| Code: | TEXT
LAST EMERGED:
${execi 180 sudo genlop -ln|tail -n 3}
LAST UNMERGED:
${execi 180 sudo genlop -un \.\*|grep \<\<\<|tail -n 3}
LAST SYNC:
${execi 180 cat /var/cache/edb/dep/timestamp.chk}
NEXT SYNC:
Saturday @ 00:30 (if you run a cron job)
|
This will give you the ability to see your last 3 emerges, last 3 unmerges, the date of your last sync, and your next sync if you're running it as a cron job. It's not perfect (I'd like to be able to automate that last line as well..), but its very functional. Heres my desktop with the modified torsmo:

Hope this comes in handy. |

It is dead because you consider it dead, or they stoped working on it?

I think it is really dead, or at least moribund. No work has been done on it since September. In any case, eix has a similar idea, but clearly outclasses esearch. Notably, updating the eix database only takes 6 seconds! (Athlon XP 2600)
By the way, I didn't mean to hijack the thread with that comment. Please return to your regularly scheduled discussion. The forums search will turn up other info on eix and esearch |

| Hmm, eix has been in portage for less then one month and is masked. Sorry, maybe later; esearch does the job fine for me... |

I like esearch. When eix advances a little more I will probably try it but for now I will stick to esearch.

duh ok I figured out how to automate the last line as well....
in your cron job, send the date of next week to a file
| Code: | | date --date="next week" > /var/log/nextemerge.log |
then in your .torsmorc, display that file:
| Code: | | cat /var/log/nextemerge.log |
I knew it was simple....just had to figure it out. 
And to add to the hijacked topic.....thanks adsmith  I've used esearch but i hate having to remember eupdated (or whatever its called) ...eix seems to work just fine for me. My computer's so slow sometimes its easier to just look at www.gentoo-portage.com to see if theres a package I'm looking to install (obviously not to see what version I've got installed) |

Thanks! But do you know how to display the last sync date/time according to my UTC? Mine's UTC-5 so the time displayed is five hours off. Not a biggie just wondering.

lol yeah I just figured out that I wasnt seeing the last sync command right.....I've moved most of this into cron so I don't have to mess up my .torsmorc with a bunch of execi's ....but here's what I've got
in crontab:
| Code: |
genlop -ln|tail -n 3| awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $7}' > /var/log/lastemerged.log
genlop -un \.\*|grep \<\<\<|tail -n 3| awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $7}' > /var/log/lastunmerged.log
genlop -rn|tail -n 1|awk '{print $4, $5, $6, $7}' > /var/log/lastsync.log |
then i just set my torsmo to cat the logs:
| Code: | ${execi 180 cat /var/log/lastemerged.log
and so on....
|
I don't know why /var/cache/edb/dep/timestamp.chk is in UTC....maybe someone knows how to change that? maybe it has something to do with LOCAL in /etc/rc.conf? I couldn't find anything so I worked this out. |

Ahh.. it was so simple thanks to a peek at the date man page. Now everything looks pretty.
| Code: | | ${execi 180 date --date="`cat /var/cache/edb/dep/timestamp.chk`" +%c} |

I sync every Friday 00:45 so I use this but I'm glad to see there are other ways to do this.
| Code: | | ${execi 180 date --date="next friday 00:45" +%c} |

| Here at school I am limited to webrsyncing, genlop does not seem to handle this. Is there a way to work around this? |
