[gentoo-dev] earch, latest version tool

Hey Everyone,

I'd like some feedback about a little tool I've whipped up, which checks the 
last stable/unstable ebuild per arch.

Running it in snort's directory, for example, yields this result:
snort-2.0.6:  sparc
snort-2.1.2:
snort-2.1.3:  x86
snort-2.2.0:  ~amd64 ~x86 ~ppc ~sparc -alpha


Get it while it's hot: http://dev.gentoo.org/~eldad/earch/earch

It'd be nice if it sorted based on version. Other than that, looks cool.

Well, It IS sorted based on version.
The archs keywords are not sorted, though, since I don't think it serves any 
purpose. (But it can be done, quite easily)

thanks for the nice tool. Only one thing though, it leaves behind two 
extra file in the "current" directory.
$ file os
os: PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0
$ file sys
sys: PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0

Now... if this tool also checked profiles to see which versions could be 
safely removed -THAT- would be sexy. Some profiles mask to a specific 
version that may or may not be the latest keyworded version in 
portage... which certainly makes making sure you dont remove something 
needed difficult.

...i think that's the whole reason why we can measure the size of 
sys-devel/binutils in MEGS. i know i'm kinda afraid to just start 
ripping ebuilds out of there... though i seriously need to at some point.

There's alot of profiles, should it check every packages listing? 

/usr/portage/profiles$ find -name "packages" | wc -l
93

just go by the cascading ones if you do plan on doing this ...

According to the last manager-meeting, the first mentioned
arch in an ebuild should be the maintainer arch.  So they
currently fulfill a purpose.  But we also talked about
adding the maintainer arch to the metadata.xml.

Nice tool!  Thanks.  Would be nicer if you can use it like
etcat -v <package> without changing into the correct
directory :)

Just to let ebuild maintainers care to get another thing right and to add 
redundant data? A prefix would have been much better. /me stops bitching and 
reads the log.

It gets kinda icky if stable has a newer version than unstable...

app-vim/align
align-23:  ~mips 
align-26:  ~x86 ~alpha

align-28:  ~amd64 x86 ~ppc sparc mips ia64 alpha 

I think eshowkw's output format is clearer in that situation:

Well it is a maintainer tool, unless someone was heavily drinking (and
in that case, stay away from the tree...) I think the maintainer should
know his arch...

I've uploaded a new version to my dev page to do just - that if you
supply an argument it'll work on PORTDIR/category/package, if invoked
without args, it scans the current dir.

$ earch net-analyzer/rrdtool
rrdtool-1.0.45-r2:  ia64
rrdtool-1.0.47:  alpha hppa amd64
rrdtool-1.0.48:  ~sparc
rrdtool-1.0.49:  ppc ~amd64 ~hppa x86 ~ia64 ~alpha sparc

handy.. I snagged a copy and put it in my $PATH then hacked up my
repoman to display this info when we/I need to know it. works good.

if "--pretend" in myoptions:
        print green("RepoMan does a once-over of the neighborhood...")
+        os.system("earch " +
os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath("."))) + "/" +
os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(".")))
