[gentoo-dev] emerge -b

[Daniel Schroeter]

Hi

I want to build some packages on my local machine and and distribute the packages to some other machines. How do I only build a package without installing it on my local system???

With emerge -b I can build the package but it get's installed also. Wouldn't it be nice to have an option like -B which only builds packages but doesn't install? Or does such an option already exist??


man emerge ...
--buildpkg (-b)
Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed in
addition to actually merging the packages.  Useful for maintainers or
if you administrate  multiple Gentoo Linux systems (build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere).  The package will be created in the ${PKGDIR}/All 
directory.

Try ebuild /usr/portage/path/to/ebuild.ebuild package

Cool it works! What irritated me is:

man ebuild:
package
  This command is a lot like the merge command, except that after
  fetching, unpacking, compiling and installing, a .tbz2  binary
  package  tarball  is  created  and stored  in   ${PKGDIR}/All 
  (${PKGDIR}  defaults  to  /usr/portage/packages).   A  symbolic link
  is created in ${PKGDIR}/${CATEGORY} that points to the package in
  ${PKGDIR}/All.

I think the man should be edited to make clear that ebuild .. package does not install.

But it does install. It just doesn't merge. Check 'man ebuild' to get 
the difference. ;)
