Gentoolkit is a suite of tools to ease the administration of a Gentoo system. |

|
This document covers the basics of |

some of the tools present in Gentoolkit. |

<title>What is Gentoolkit?</title> |

|
|
<body> |
| 27 |
|
|
<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> |

<title>Installation</title> |

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

|
<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 |

<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> |
| 91 |
|
|
<body> |
| 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. |

<p> |

|
|
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 |

<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. |

| 329 |

|
|
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. |
| 387 |
|
|
</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>. |

<c>epm</c> functions with essentially the same command line functions as Red Hat's |

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

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