[gentoo-dev] Multiple DISTDIR

[gentoo-dev] Multiple DISTDIR

[Kurt V. Hindenburg]

I've patch portage.py (VERSION="2.0.47-r10") and ebuild.sh to use a 
new variable in make.conf.  The new variable is DISTDIRS="directory1 
directory2 etc".
The purpose of this is to allow people to have distfiles in multiple 
locations (ie. cdrom, nfs, etc).

What happens:
1. Look in DISTDIR for files (as normal)
2. If not found, traverse through all directories in DISTDIRS looking 
for files.
3. Set a new environment variable (DDIR) pointing to correct directory 
holding the files.
4. ebuild.sh will use DDIR if set instead of DISTDIR.

Notes:
1. I couldn't really figure out what the envirnoment variables A and 
AA were meant for.

2. I thought it best to avoid messing with the envirnoment variable 
DISTDIR to avoid confusion/problems (hence the new DDIR).

3. How can I get the latest cvs copy of portage as I would assume 
people would want a diff against that.

This will need further testing/fixing as I've only spent a few hours 
on it and I'm a non-python user.

Anyone doing something like this or anyone have any comments?

This seems to be a kludge. What if a package requires multiple source
files that are in different DISTDIRs? Does that work?

One further this with this. Which DISTDIR is used for live CVS ebuilds
(that checkout to $DISTDIR/cvs-src)

I believe 'A' is a list of all new SRC_URIs, and AA is a list of ALL
SRC_URIs. I may be wrong tho, that was from quite a while ago that I dug
into portage.

See this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10803

I think being able to have multiple DISTDIRS is a very good move, I was
wanting previously in Portage, but I never got around to coding it up.

The CVS web interface is not very nice to use. Isn't there anonymous cvs access
anymore? A few days ago I wanted to checkout "cd-tools", because I wanted to use
it as the base for a recovery CD I wanted to build myself but seems it wouldn't
be possible.

We don't have the physical resources to be able to provide anon cvs, 
unfortunately.
