Install local packages using Equo

[nachoig]

Is this possible? The idea is:
1. Build a binary package using Portage and save it on my computer.
2. Install this package using equo or Rigo. Something like pacman -U or dpkg -i.

You didnt't understand my question. My objective is not to create a repository. I would like to do something like this:

Two examples.

1. Official Sabayon's repositories doesn't have the latest Opera's version and I want it. Then, I go to download opera in official's Opera page. Yes, they have a package for Sabayon, look
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/

But, how can I install it? In Debian and Ubuntu, I download the .deb package from Opera's website and install with dpkg-i /home/user/Downloads/opera.deb, without using any repos. In RPM distros, I can do this typing rpm -i /home/user/Downloads/opera.rpm

2. According to emerge's man page, I can create a binnary package using the option --buildpkg, or if I don't want to install this package, I can use --buildpkgonly. The description says:

Code: Select all

--buildpkg [ y | n ] (-b short option)
              Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed in addition to actually merging the packages.  Useful for maintainers or if you administrate mul‐
              tiple Gentoo Linux systems (build once, emerge tbz2s everywhere) as well as disaster recovery. The package will be created in the PKGDIR directory (see
              make.conf(5)).  An alternative for already-merged packages is to use quickpkg(1) which creates a tbz2 from the live filesystem.

    --buildpkgonly (-B)
              Creates binary packages for all ebuilds processed without actually merging the packages.  This comes with the caveat that all build-time dependencies must
              already be emerged on the system.



The idea is to get a package from Portage, create a binnary, and install using Equo.

In summary: all what I want is installing through Equo packages that are not present in the Sabayon's or any community repositories or without use these repos.

Look at the entropy tools equo pkg and equo repo.

[sabayonino]

I Understood. but binary package for Gentoo is not compatible with entropy.

running "eit" you can build your own entropy package from portage (after compile the packages/s)

then you can install your own Entropy package locally or setting your local repository.

if you build a single (or a sets) packages you can install them locally but entropy database doesn't know what you've installed
see

Code: Select all

# equo pkg --help

[nachoig]

OK, if I understood correctly, it's possible. But it's not clearly yet how can I do this.

1. emerge --buildpkgonly foo
This builds the binnary package and save it on my computer, right?


2. equo pkg inflate /path/to/foo.tbz2
This converts the binnary package generated by Portage to an Entropy package and install it, right?

don't need to build gentoo binary pkg. Just merge this. then run equo pkg to build this.


example :

Code: Select all

# emerge cfv

(this compile cfv and its dependemces)

then run equo pkg to build entropy package


Note :

Code: Select all

equo pkg inflate
usage: equo pkg inflate [-h] [--savedir <path>] [--ask] <file> [<file> ...]
equo pkg inflate: error: too few arguments


Code: Select all

# equo pkg inflate app-arch/cfv

unfortunately I can't paste this output 'couse entropy errors

[nachoig]

But I don't want to merge the packages. This type of operation has a serious problem: many dependencies will be merged together, including system components (like udev, kmod, Linux kernel, etc.)

Can I use emerge --nodeps foo in this case?

You can try this.

Remember .. Sabayon is like Gentoo ...Do you know Gentoo ??

You are not alone. equo pkg inflate is broken.

Code: Select all

equo pkg inflate galculator

Erm... Can I send the error, along with some other information
about your hardware to my creators so they can fix me? (Your IP will be logged)

I'll open a bug report.
