Subject: [gentoo-dev] How to test ebuild install without recompiling?
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 15:34:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020412193416.GA32215@cfl.rr.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I am in the process of creating an ebuild for "qcad".

The "build" step was created in short order.  The "install" step is,
however, giving me problems.  Currently, my biggest holdup is the cycle
time to test changes to my ebuild.  Each time I change my ebuild, when I
issue the "ebuild qcad-<vers>.ebuild install", I get a message stating
that the ebuild changed.  The working directory is erased.  As a
consequence of this, I have to watch my application be rebuilt (which
takes a few minutes).  

So, is there a way, when testing an ebuild, to force ebuild, the
application, NOT to rebuild the entire application.  I looked through
the manpage and the portage HOWTO, but I didn't see anything obvious.

Thanks for the assistance,

--
