 |

Hi,
How to build a .tbz2 package without actually installing the application?
As I understand emerge -b makes a package *and* installs.
Thanks alot

| You can use the ebuild command. man ebuild. |

.. okay, its possible to build packages manually, but thats unhandy, because ebuild does not have something like a dependency system.. so you habe to start every compile by yourself...
It would be very handy if one could use something like
| Code: | | emerge --without-install -b package |

Should this create one tbz2 or several?

Can't you emerge -p it and then run ebuild for each of the listed packages?

of course, its possible, but not very handy.. in some cases (say bootstrap) you have to run ebuild xxxx package more than 40 times...

I think what delta407 was getting at (and me too after you said that you wanted multiple .tbz2s) is that you could take the output of "emerge -p", use sed/awk/perl/whatever to extract the individual package names to be built, and then use xargs or something to call "ebuild package" on each one of them.

OK, this is hardly tested at all, but see if it's close to what you are looking for. Actually, wait about 15 minutes, and I'm sure delta407 will come by with some bugfixes. 
Just call it with the simple names of packages you want to put in the pool.
| Code: | #! /usr/bin/perl -w
use Carp;
my $PORTAGE_BASEDIR = '/usr/portage';
my @wanted_packages = @ARGV;
my @needed_packages = ();
for my $wanted ( @wanted_packages ) {
# check for bad characters in $wanted if we are suid
my $emerge = `/usr/bin/emerge -pe $wanted`;
my @needed = $emerge =~ /\] (\S+)/g;
push( @needed_packages, @needed );
}
# traditional perl idiom for eliminating duplicates in a list is to
# assign to a hash and then use keys, but the order here is critical,
# so we'll live with shared duplicates for now.
for my $package ( @needed_packages ) {
$package =~ /(.+)\/([^[0-9]+)(-.+)/ or croak( "can't understand $package" );
my $ebuild_file = $PORTAGE_BASEDIR.'/'.$1.'/'.$2.'/'.$2.$3.'.ebuild';
print STDERR "processing $ebuild_file\n";
system( '/usr/sbin/ebuild', $ebuild_file, 'package' );
} |
--japh
EDIT: thanks to cbrese for bugfixes posted later in the thread.

I had the same question too a while ago.
| Code: | | ebuild <packagename> package |
is creating the package.tbz2 without installing it.
But how are you going to build a package if you didn't install the dependencies either?
For example: you want a package of fluxbox, but it cannot build if the X-headers are not installed. You cannot build gnome packages without installing the library headers (like gtk-2).
Nice discussion, though

rac,
I just made a couple of small changes to your perl script.
the first change was this:
| Code: |
-my $emerge = `/usr/bin/emerge -pb $wanted`;
+my $emerge = `/usr/bin/emerge -pe $wanted`;
|
the 2nd change fixed a small bug if the was a "-" in the package name:
| Code: |
-$package =~ /(.+)\/([^-]+)(-.+)/ or croak( "can't understand $package" );
+$package =~ /(.+)\/([^0-9]+)(-.+)/ or croak( "can't understand $package" );
|
With this script I am now building a package for everything on my system by passing world. |

| So i assume then there is an easy method (or if there isnt i'm sure someone will code one) to use this method to compile an ebuild on another system and then install it remotely to another system? It'd be great to use this in some way to compile my laptop apps on a separate system but for my architecture, with my make.conf configs, etc and have it install over a network to my laptop. |

I don't see the -B option in the emerge man page. What does it do?
Also there is still a bug in the perl script when a package a number in it name, such m4 or mp3.
I'm know the regex in the following line needs to be modified, but I can't figure it out.
| Code: |
$package =~ /(.+)\/([^0-9]+)(-.+)/ or croak( "can't understand $package" );
|
The 2nd capture should be matching a -[0-9] not just a [0-9]. |

emerge -B is --buildpkgonly
I dont think its documented yet, there are a few things like that in portage, always, takes a while for the docs to catch up with the release |

Cool, thanks for the tip.
Looks like emerge -Be will do what I was trying to get the perl script to do. |

cbrese,
I think the following modification is OK!
| Code: |
- $package =~ /(.+)\/([^[0-9]+)(-.+)/ or croak("can't understand $package");
+ $package =~ /(.+)\/(.+)(-\d.*)/ or croak("can't understand $package");
