 Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2025 11:55 pm Post subject: How to make MANIFEST not as root? |
 |
|
I have my own overlay at a github repo.
I'm trying to do a ebuild. I consider it's done. Now I'm trying to do MANIFEST file
By the guide at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds#Demonstration_by_example
| Quote: |
It is possible to test fetching and unpacking the upstream sources by the new ebuild, using the ebuild command:
| Code: |
user $ GENTOO_MIRRORS="" ebuild ./scrub-2.6.1.ebuild manifest clean unpack
|
|
So, I'm trying to do that as a user which is not root. My latest attempt at which I stuck:
| Code: | | DISTDIR=/home/paxu/data/code/experiments/distfiles PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/paxu/data/code/experiments/tmpdir" GENTOO_MIRRORS="" ebuild ./dev-cpp/boost/boost-1.87.0.ebuild manifest clean unpack |
| Code: | Appending /home/paxu/data/code/experiments/ex_repo to PORTDIR_OVERLAY...

Maybe there's a better article or I don't understand something? |

Just fetch the files as root in your regular DISTDIR and then run pkgdev manifest in you repo root. It'll create the manifests. However it doesn't refresh them. You need to delete them to make pkgdev recreate them. That's my experience from maintaining my mini overlay. I usually work on one package at a time, so that has never been an issue for me, at least after I realized it didn;t recreate the manifests on its own, unlike ebuild manifest.
The added value is it creates caches in metadata/md5-cache. However it doesn't clean up either, so you need to do manual cleanup for old files there too.
Best Regards,
