[gentoo-user] Hooks for Portage 2.1?

[gentoo-user] Hooks for Portage 2.1?

[Jerry McBride]

Well... it's time I revisited my /etc/portage/bashrc file, now that Portage 
2.1 is vogue. My old bashrc doesn't work anymore and things have changed 
sufficiently with 2.1 that I need some help... documentation.

Would anyone happen to know where the API for Portage 2.1, that explains the 
new hook framework layout?

Thanks.

Jerry

I'm not sure such documentation exists... What do you want to do?

I had a bash script that would simply delete the archives downloaded to 
distfiles,  after the emerge completed. Really a  handy thing to have, 
managed my distfiles automaticly. It doesn't work anymore since the upgrade 
to portage 2.1.x. 

I could fix it, but the hooks have either moved or have been eliminated in 
favor of some other mechanism. Hence my need for documentation or tips...

I'm not really sure I get this right. Did you want to keep your distdir empty 
after each merge or did you want to get rid of sources when they are no 
longer needed? If the latter why don't you use eclean from 
app-portage/gentoolkit? If you wanted something completely different then 
please elaborate...

Or post the script so we can try to see where it goes wrong.

i would like to have a script (usage e.g. "emerge_patch package path/patch_file")
which would emerge a given package and apply given patch after source unpack phase.
as i understood some time ago the hooks could be used for it, but i havent found
any hint how to use them.

I don't think the hooks are useful for that. Why not just copy the ebuild to 
an overlay and apply the patch in the ebuild in the overlay? I think [1] 
tells you everything you need to know to do that?

i have been told to use these two:
post_src_unpack/pre_src_compile
(but dont know how).

basically because its tedious to make new ebuild for each new version for
a given package when i have some particular patch i always want to apply.

Hmm... Well, if you want to apply foo.patch on category/name all you really 
need to do should be something like:

# mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/category && echo "post_src_unpack() {
        epatch /absolute/path/to/foo.patch
}" >> /etc/portage/env/category/name

thanks a lot :))
even that emerge_patch script could be done using this.
