I've been asked how to discover useflags used in a binary package (tbz2)
then i created this "stupid" script.

Hope it will be usefull to somebody

A screenshot:

Code: Select all

root@lyra BinInfo # ./bininfo /usr/portage/packages/All/postfix-2.1.3.tbz2

BinInfo - ver 0.1

*mail-mta/postfix-2.1.3

    USEFLAGS        : +ipv6 +pam -ldap +mysql -postgres +ssl -sasl -vda -mailwrapper -mbox
    CXX             : g++
    CC              : gcc
    CHOST           : i686-pc-linux-gnu
    CFLAGS          : -O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
    CXXFLAGS        : -O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
    SLOT            : 0

you could specify the usage when the user executes it without args

Code: Select all

# ./bininfo

BinInfo - ver 0.1

!!! Only one argument please!

yes you're right..

it was a 5 minute script

as soon as i put it in gekit ebuild (a collection of script from italian guys called Gechi) i will adjust it

We're planning to use it for a gentoo installation party for speeding up installtion for compatible machine (and settings)
