Hi, I would like to know if there is some automated way to install Gentoo packages through EasyBuild. I want to take packages available in science overlay of Gentoo Linux at http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sci.git and install them on a non-Gentoo host. Is it doable? ;-)
I foresee some difficulty because there can be classes inherited in the ebuild files, complicating the conversion. Also syntax (EAPI) is changing time to time. Thank you, Martin P.S.: Do not confuse official Gentoo portage tree which has far less packages, the packages in the overlay are of more testing quality but mostly work fine. On the other hand, there are many more available. P.P.S.: Do not confuse a github tree of science overlay, it is manually synced in both directions with the official http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sci.git science overlay tree.. That is because some users prefer more the github access including pull requests and issue reports, etc. But devs have to pull/cherrypick the changes in both directions.
