Gentoolkit is a suite of tools to ease the administration of a Gentoo system.
|
| 15 |
|
|
This document covers the basics of
|
| 16 |
|
|
some of the tools present in Gentoolkit.

<title>What is Gentoolkit?</title>

|

|
|
<p>Gentoo is a unique distribution, and presents some complexities that
|
| 28 |
|
|
simply don't exist for other distributions. As Gentoo developers
|
| 29 |
|
|
and contributors discovered some of these complexities, they also
|
| 30 |
|
|
wrote tools to help users and administrators work around them.
|
| 31 |
|
|
Many of these tools have been contributed to the Gentoo project,
|
| 32 |
|
|
and are included in the package <path>app-admin/gentoolkit</path>.
|
| 33 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
<p>Gentoolkit contains a whole bunch of useful tools to help manage
|
| 36 |
|
|
Portage and the ebuild architecture. Most users -- particularly
|
| 37 |
|
|
those who update systems often -- will benefit from having
|
| 38 |
|
|
gentoolkit installed.</p>

|

|
|
<p>Just as with any Gentoo package, installation is just a simple
|
| 45 |
|
|
emerge.

<note>Many of the tools in gentoolkit reveal important information
|
| 52 |
|
|
about your system or require root permissions. For that reason,
|
| 53 |
|
|
some of the programs may only be executed (or only function
|
| 54 |
|
|
properly) if run by a user with root permissions.</note>

At the time of this writing, not all of the programs in gentoolkit

are well documented. Some have man pages, but not all. Any documentation
|
| 64 |
|
|
that a program might have (other than man pages) is stored in

| 65 |
|

<path>/usr/doc/gentoolkit-[version]/[program-name]/</path>.

|
<p><c>qpkg</c> is flexible tool for determining information about ebuilds,
|
| 77 |
|
|
whether installed or not. It can provide information about what files belong
|
| 78 |
|
|
to which ebuilds, whether multiple versions of the same package are installed,
|
| 79 |
|
|
and what a particular ebuild does.
|
| 80 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 81 |
|
|
<p>Calling <c>qpkg</c> with no arguments prints a list of all ebuilds, with asterisks
|
| 82 |
|
|
(*) next to the packages that are installed on the system.
|
| 83 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 84 |
|
|
<note>By default, <c>qpkg</c> prints output in color. To turn this off on the command
|
| 85 |
|
|
line, use the <c>--no-color</c> or <c>-nc</c> flag.</note>

<title>Querying Package Information</title>
|

|
| 92 |
|
|
<p>One of the most common uses for <c>qpkg</c> is determining what a given package
|
| 93 |
|
|
is. For instance, while looking through <path>net-misc</path>, I saw a package
|
| 94 |
|
|
called <path>neon</path>. Having no idea what it was, I ran qpkg.

Sometimes multiple versions of the same package may exist. <c>qpkg --dup</c>
|
| 186 |
|
|
|
| 187 |
|
|
will print a list of duplicate packages. The existence of a duplicate package
|
| 188 |
|
|
though may not indicate that the older version may be removed. They may fill
|
| 189 |
|
|
different slots. To look for duplicates in the same slot, use
|
| 190 |
|
|
<c>qpkg --dups --slot</c>. I just updated KDE from 3.0 to 3.0.2, so I have some
|
| 191 |
|
|
duplicates in the same slot.

Sometimes it is useful to check a package's integrity to know that files
|
| 217 |
|
|
have not been replaced since they were installed. <c>qpkg</c> can
|
| 218 |
|
|
verify md5 sums as well as install times to indicate whether or not files
|
| 219 |
|
|
for the package might have been corrupted, replaced, or removed.
|
| 220 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 221 |
|
|
<p>To check both mtimes and md5 sums, use the <c>-c</c> flag.</p>

As you can see, I have more than one version of GnuPG installed. <c>qpkg</c>
|
| 257 |
|
|
reports that many of the files from the older version have been changed since I
|
| 258 |
|
|
installed it. Those packages were most likely modified when I updated
|
| 259 |
|
|
from <path>gnupg-1.0.6</path> to <path>gnupg-1.0.7</path>. Note that the last two
|
| 260 |
|
|
lines indicate
|
| 261 |
|
|
that 0 of 101 files from <path>gnupg-1.0.7</path> have been changed since I
|
| 262 |
|
|
installed. That
|
| 263 |
|
|
is good. If any of them had been changed, I would be worried.

<c>lintool</c> is a program that checks ebuild scripts for conformance to
|
| 288 |
|
|
standards and requirements. It is important for ebuild developers to use <c>lintool</c>
|
| 289 |
|
|
to ensure that they are doing things correctly and not requiring the core team
|
| 290 |
|
|
to do more than they already have to in order to include the ebuild in the Gentoo
|
| 291 |
|
|
repository.

The first line summarizes whether the ebuild is okay or not. In the case of
|
| 325 |
|
|
<c>gnupg-1.0.7.ebuild</c>, it's not. Reading through the list of checks, we can see
|
| 326 |
|
|
that it got a warning for malformed headers and an error for presence of env
|
| 327 |
|
|
vars.
|
| 328 |

|
</p>
|
| 329 |
|
|
|
| 330 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 331 |
|
|
Looking at the ebuild, I see that it is missing a couple of required
|
| 332 |
|
|
env vars (LICENSE and RDEPEND). Adding those fixes the error. But there are
|
| 333 |
|
|
still two warnings -- one for malformed headers and one for env vars. To help
|
| 334 |
|
|
me find those, I can run <c>lintool</c> again with <c>--show-details</c>

<c>epm</c> is a package managing tool that clones Red Hat rpm commands. As it stands
|
| 385 |
|
|
now, it does not offer all of the features of rpm, but it offers some of the more
|
| 386 |
|
|
powerful rpm query options.

</p>
|
| 388 |
|
|
|
| 389 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 390 |
|
|
It also handles removing packages, which is not covered here. Use <c>epm --help</c>
|
| 391 |
|

to learn more about deleting packages with <c>epm</c>.

rpm. <c>epm -qa</c> lists all packages installed. <c>epm -ql</c> lists all the

<p>gentool is a collective name for several small scripts that analyze ebuild

For instance, gentool-total-coverage prints a list of email addresses and the

number of ebuilds each has in the portage tree.
