Hi all,
I'm the guy trying to put the portage tree in a relational database
and making a portage-lite script to search and caculate deps from the
database. I have currently some questions I couldn't find looking at
the huge portage.py file:
- - Where does portage saves information about installed files besides
the world file, like versions installed and such?
/var/db/pkg/
- - I came across some dependancies like "useflag? ( ||
( cat/package ) )". I can't find a logic in this and assume it's a
mistake, or am I missing something?
"|| ( cat/pkga cat/pkgb )" means that either pkga or pkgb will satisfy the
dependency.
- - What exactly are CDEPEND, PDEPEND and EAPI specified on the cache
format?
I don't think CDEPEND is used anymore. PDEPEND is post-depend...packages that
should be installed *after* the current one is emerged. I'm not sure about EAPI.
