[gentoo-user] online browsable ebuilds by arch?

[James]

Hello folks,

I use this link for browsing ebuilds online[1]. It is escecially useful
when non_gentoo folks are discussion how to compile from sources;
particularly complex/compound compilations and or difficult codes
(except java). I find myself always referring to online ebuilds when
in discussions with folks  who are not "blessed" with a gentoo system
to view ebuilds. I often use ebuids as a roadmap for folks that 
are trying to compile things from soureces. Subliminally, there is the
backdrop that folks should use gentoo for source_code development 
and testing.

This fantastic repo has very old codes and often the newer codes are mulit-arch.


What I cannot seem to find is this sort of organization, filtered
by architecture. It's be really keen to see one just for arm and
arm64. So the next time I talking about putting gnucash (for example)
on a handheld (mips) device, it is easy to quickly find the correct ebuild
from which to be a pedantic snob (just teasing). I do collide with
egg_heads, quite often, unfortunately. Redhat and it's derivatives
seem to collect such folks; but they admit how horrible those
distros are for sourcecode efforts.



Any git* repos that have a nice, logical frontend for organizing
and visually parsing ebuilds, by arch, would be keen; particularly
for arm64. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.

That's the main portage tree, the name is a misnomer. Although called
gentoo-x86, it is really just portage, which does not have specific
ebuilds for different architectures. Architecture suitability is governed
by the KEYWORDS variable inside the ebuild.

Yea, I get that. But I want it 100% filtered by arch.

So if I'm looking for ppc (a gentoo supported arch) I have an online
portage tree for viewing; so that ALL packages listed, are available
for a specific arch. There are many amd64/x86/intel only packages
that are not yet ported to a specific arch.  So how do I filter
the above repo to ensure I only see those packages available
for other architectures? It's a drag and a time sink to have to
open up/parse an ebuild to have to grep for a keyword for a given arch
and that is not even 100% reliable.

I'm surely thinking there be  split/separate listing for arm64,
forthcoming.....


Ideas?

It's not quite what you are asking for, but packages.g.o lets you
filter by arch, and view the contents of ebuilds.

Yea, I have seen that often when I google. Correct but is not comprehensive
but chronologically organized. I'm looking for something organized by what
your see, when you 'cd' into the /usr/portage dir comprehensive by category
but filters so only those packages available for that specified arch are
visible.

I also need it online so somebody else does not have be sitting at a gentoo
system to read the ebuilds. It also would be great if this 'frontend' could
source overlays, and git based repos that contain other ebuilds for
examinations and discussions.


thanks,
James

Yes, the old p.g.o let you browse categories, but the current incarnation
does not appear to.

Ycarus responds really to quickly to issues with the gpo site...
Perhaps a feature request could be put in for a new "arch" tab - to be
added a future date?
