sudo equo repoinfo

[totedati]

Code: Select all

equo --help | grep -A 6 repoinfo
        repoinfo        show repositories information
                make.conf [repos]               show make.conf for the chosen repositories
                package.mask [repos]            show package.mask for the chosen repositories
                package.unmask [repos]          show package.unmask for the chosen repositories
                package.keywords [repos]        show package.keywords for the chosen repositories
                package.use [repos]             show package.use for the chosen repositories
                profile.link [repos]            show make.profile link for the chosen repositories

well ... let's try:

Code: Select all

sudo equo repoinfo
Password:
>> You should run equo --help
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo repoinfo make.conf
>> You didn't run equo --help, did you?
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo make.conf
>> Did you even read equo --help??
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo make.conf repoinfo
>> I give up. Run that equo --help !!!!!!!
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo repoinfo
>> OH MY GOD. RUN equo --heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo repoinfo all
>> Illiteracy is a huge problem in this world
totedati@totedati ~ $ sudo equo repoinfo list
>> Ok i give up, you are hopeless

so ... i give up ... what is correct syntax for equo repoinfo command!?

[DHalens]

No need to use sudo or su if your user is in entropy group.
What you have to do is to add the repo id at the end of the command. Examples:

Code: Select all

dhalens@localhost ~ $ equo repoinfo profile.link sabayonlinux.org
>>  [sabayonlinux.org] mostrando: profile.link.
../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop
dhalens@localhost ~ $ equo repoinfo package.mask jenna
>>  [jenna] package.mask: no disponible.
dhalens@localhost ~ $ equo repoinfo package.use naendo
>>  [naendo] mostrando: package.use.
[...]

thanks ... now i understand better what:

Code: Select all

equo --help | grep -A 6 repoinfo
        repoinfo        show repositories information
                make.conf [repos]               show make.conf for the chosen repositories
                package.mask [repos]            show package.mask for the chosen repositories
                package.unmask [repos]          show package.unmask for the chosen repositories
                package.keywords [repos]        show package.keywords for the chosen repositories
                package.use [repos]             show package.use for the chosen repositories
                profile.link [repos]            show make.profile link for the chosen repositories

means ...

;-D

LE:
and error messages was so ... funny!

hummm ... maybe entropy group is useful for status retrieval ... and sistem info like search in equo database ... but i don't think can make any real work, install/update using only that group permissions:

Code: Select all

totedati@totedati ~ $ id
uid=1000(totedati) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),10(wheel),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),35(games),80(cdrw),85(usb),100(users),
250(portage),409(clamav),410(messagebus),411(haldaemon),441(plugdev),442(scanner),1000(entropy),1007(kvm),1009(vboxusers)

then a quick test:

Code: Select all

lol! time to try again entropy v0.51.0 ... maybe this time is better that last time i tested this version, v0.51.0 ... maybe

Well, yes. What i wanted to say is it works for everything related to show info and update it's database (equo update). Of course installing/removing can't be done just by anyone being in the group.

Look carefully to the error, it occurs after the repo itself is updated; it's an issue related to an ugc (user generated content) function.
Please upgrade equo and entropy to latest version and retry, may be an unsolved bug.
