[gentoo-user] online browsable ebuilds by arch?

2015-03-30 Thread 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.

James

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.
