Hi,
Is there a way tell portage to build binary package before removing it
from the system?
man emerge says:
--buildpkg (-b)
Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds
processed in addition to actually **merging** the packages.
[...]
An alternative for already-merged packages is to use
quickpkg(1) which creates a tbz2 from the live filesystem.
I have about 20 packages to unmerge or remerge with new use flags. But
I want to keep binary copies (with old use settings) before unmerging
them. Unfortunately I did not have buildpkg in FEATURES at the time of
emerging them. Doing this now by hand sounds kinda fatigue unless...
the output of --pretend was parsable so I do what I want by..
for pkg in ${PKGS}; do quickpkg --include-config\=y $pkg; done
or by something better?
Thanks for ideas in advance.
