 Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2002 3:21 pm Post subject: unrestricted path for .tbz2 packages |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm using more and more tbz2 packages, but portage doesn't allow me to archivate them as I want to (not exactly true, see at end):
- tbz2 files are going to /usr/portage/packages/All
I would prefer to choose the complete path (including archive name).
All informations needed by portage are included in it, so why be so restrictive?
- to install a tbz2 file, it should be in /usr/portage/packages/All
Again, why be so restrictive?
- when installing a tbz2, if the corresponding ebuild does not exist in the /usr/portage/ tree, there is a warning message. Well, it works, but here I'm a little confused: tbz2 has its own ebuild attached, so what does this warning means?
example:
- I'm upgrading perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.0, ok this is not a restriction here, the archives are properly stored with right versions in their names and I can easily switch from one to the other.
- Now, I want mod_perl. The same version has to be compiled for each version of perl. I have to store the two archives elsewhere because I need something in the path remembering me what I've done for later use. If I want to shift back, I move the correct archive in /usr/portage/packages/All
- Now, I want different CFLAGS or USE settings. The same problem arises.
What I would like to do is:
| Quote: |
#> quickpkg dev-perl/mod_perl /tmp/my_archives/mod_perl-1.27-my_tag.tbz2
#> emerge /tmp/my_archives/freedom.tbz2
|
so I could maintain my set of archives easily.
For now, I'm using a small script that split the tbz2, get the name, copy to the right place, emerge, and clean. Ok, I can do that way, and I will understand if you (gentoo-dev) choose to keep the default behaviour like it is.
my best regards,

xpand: this script is used by quickpkg_merge, it does the oposite of xpak
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/python2.2
import xpak
import sys
if len(sys.argv)!=2:
print "xpak: expecting two arguments."
sys.exit(1)
xpak.xsplit(sys.argv[1])
xpak.xpand(xpak.getboth(sys.argv[1]), '/tmp/portage/temp')
