<p> |
| 37 |
Gentoo is a unique distribution, and presents some complexities that simply |
| 38 |
don't exist for other distributions. As Gentoo developers and contributors |
| 39 |
discovered some of these complexities, they also wrote tools to help users and |
| 40 |
administrators work around them. Many of these tools have been contributed to |
| 41 |
the Gentoo project, and are included in the package |
| 42 |
<c>app-portage/gentoolkit</c>. |
| 43 |
</p> |

| 46 |
Gentoolkit contains a whole bunch of useful tools to help manage Portage and the |
| 47 |
ebuild architecture. Most users -- particularly those who update systems often |
| 48 |
-- will benefit from having gentoolkit installed. |

<title>Installation</title> |
| 56 |
<body> |
| 57 |
|

<p> |
| 59 |
Just as with any Gentoo package, installation is just a simple emerge. |

| 66 |
<note> |
| 67 |
Many of the tools in gentoolkit reveal important information about your system |
| 68 |
or require root permissions. For that reason, some of the programs may only be |
| 69 |
executed (or only function properly) if run by a user with root permissions. |

<p> |
| 80 |
At the time of this writing, not all of the programs in gentoolkit are well |
| 81 |
documented. Some have man pages, but not all. Any documentation |
| 82 |
that a program might have (other than man pages) is stored in |
| 83 |
<path>/usr/doc/gentoolkit-[version]/[program-name]/</path>. |

<p><c>qpkg</c> is flexible tool for determining information about ebuilds, |
| 95 |
whether installed or not. It can provide information about what files belong |
| 96 |
to which ebuilds, whether multiple versions of the same package are installed, |
| 97 |
and what a particular ebuild does. |
| 98 |
</p> |
| 99 |
<p>Calling <c>qpkg</c> with no arguments prints a list of all ebuilds, with asterisks |
| 100 |
(*) next to the packages that are installed on the system. |
| 101 |
</p> |
| 102 |
<note>By default, <c>qpkg</c> prints output in color. To turn this off on the command |
| 103 |
line, use the <c>--no-color</c> or <c>-nc</c> flag.</note> |

<title>Querying Package Information</title> |
| 109 |
<body> |
| 110 |
<p>One of the most common uses for <c>qpkg</c> is determining what a given package |
| 111 |
is. For instance, while looking through <path>net-misc</path>, I saw a package |
| 112 |
called <path>neon</path>. Having no idea what it was, I ran qpkg. |
| 113 |

<c>qpkg</c> can also list the files that belong to an installed ebuild. I |

Know that gentoolkit installed several tools, but I don't know what they |

all are. To find out, I can do a <c>qpkg -l</c> |

<title>Listing Duplicate Packages</title> |

<p> |
| 203 |
Sometimes multiple versions of the same package may exist. <c>qpkg --dup</c> |
| 204 |
|
| 205 |
will print a list of duplicate packages. The existence of a duplicate package |
| 206 |
though may not indicate that the older version may be removed. They may fill |
| 207 |
different slots. To look for duplicates in the same slot, use |
| 208 |
<c>qpkg --dups --slot</c>. I just updated KDE from 3.0 to 3.0.2, so I have some |
| 209 |
duplicates in the same slot. |

<p> |
| 234 |
Sometimes it is useful to check a package's integrity to know that files |
| 235 |
have not been replaced since they were installed. <c>qpkg</c> can |
| 236 |
verify md5 sums as well as install times to indicate whether or not files |
| 237 |
for the package might have been corrupted, replaced, or removed. |
| 238 |
</p> |
| 239 |
<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> |
| 275 |
reports that many of the files from the older version have been changed since I |
| 276 |
installed it. Those packages were most likely modified when I updated |
| 277 |
from <path>gnupg-1.0.6</path> to <path>gnupg-1.0.7</path>. Note that the last two |
| 278 |
lines indicate |
| 279 |
that 0 of 101 files from <path>gnupg-1.0.7</path> have been changed since I |
| 280 |
installed. That |

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 |
| 306 |
standards and requirements. It is important for ebuild developers to use <c>lintool</c> |
| 307 |
to ensure that they are doing things correctly and not requiring the core team |
| 308 |
to do more than they already have to in order to include the ebuild in the Gentoo |
| 309 |
repository. |

The first line summarizes whether the ebuild is okay or not. In the case of |
| 343 |
<c>gnupg-1.0.7.ebuild</c>, it's not. Reading through the list of checks, we can see |
| 344 |
that it got a warning for malformed headers and an error for presence of env |

Looking at the ebuild, I see that it is missing a couple of required |

env vars (LICENSE and RDEPEND). Adding those fixes the error. But there are |
| 351 |
still two warnings -- one for malformed headers and one for env vars. To help |

<c>epm</c> is a package managing tool that clones Red Hat rpm commands. As it stands |
| 403 |
now, it does not offer all of the features of rpm, but it offers some of the more |
| 404 |
powerful rpm query options. |
| 405 |
</p> |
| 406 |
|
| 407 |
<p> |
| 408 |
It also handles removing packages, which is not covered here. Use <c>epm --help</c> |
| 409 |
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 |
| 419 |
rpm. <c>epm -qa</c> lists all packages installed. <c>epm -ql</c> lists all the |
| 420 |
files from a specific ebuild. |

<c>etc-update</c> provides a convenient alternative to updating configuration |

files by hand. After running an emerge that changes configuration files, you |

can run etc-update to step you through the process of updating all impacted |

configuration files. |

It is driven by a menu-based interface and includes the ability to view and merge |

in config files before deciding what to do. |

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

| 537 |
For instance, gentool-total-coverage prints a list of email addresses and the |
| 538 |
number of ebuilds each has in the portage tree. |
