Sabayon devkit

The Sabayon devkit is a set of scripts that aims to help developers in various tasks.

You can install it in sabayon with:

sudo equo i sabayon-devkit

Building package in a clean environment

Packages can be built in a clean environment with docker by running sabayon-buildpackages.

sabayon-buildpackages is just a script wrapper around the builder perl script which is placed inside a docker container.

Define your workspace

Create a directory to represent your project workspace.

cd $HOME
mkdir myproject
cd myproject

if you plan to make packages from your own ebuilds, and you don't have an overlay published in layman, you can create the local_overlay directory and put your overlay tree inside it.

me@box:myproject/$ mkdir local_overlay

myproject/local_overlay is read from the docker container and mounted inside it as the local overlay available in the machine.

If you want, you can define the workspace directory with the variable environment SAB_WORKSPACE

SAB_WORKSPACE=/whatever sabayon-createrepo

Build your packages

sabayon-buildpackages accepts the same arguments as the builder:

sabayon-buildpackages app-text/tree
sabayon-buildpackages plasma-meta --layman kde
sabayon-buildpackages app-foo/foobar --equo foo-misc/foobar --layman foo --layman bar foo

• --layman foobar -- tells the script to add the "foobar" overlay from layman
• --equo foo-misc/foobar -- tells the script to install "foo-misc/foobar" before compiling
• The arguments are the packages that you want compile, they can be also in the complete form e.g. =foo-bar/misc-1.2

Folder structure

This is the folder structure that will be automatically created:

`

myproject/ 
myproject/portage_artifacts/
myproject/entropy_artifacts/
myproject/local_overlay/

`

• myproject/portage_artifacts/ -- will contain the portage artifacts, they will be consumed in the next steps
• myproject/entropy_artifacts/ -- will contain the entropy output, our Sabayon repository for the .tbz2 packages that where in myproject/portage_artifacts/
• myproject/local_overlay/ -- is the location of your personal overlay (if necessary)

Create Sabayon repository from *.tbz2 in a clean environment

You can create Sabayon repositories from packages built with emerge in a clean environment with docker by running sabayon-createrepo.

The script will use a docker container to inject packages from portage_artifacts/ in your project folder, the output will be available in entropy_artifacts/.

Example:

sabayon-createrepo

REPOSITORY_NAME=mytest REPOSITORY_DESCRIPTION="My Wonderful Repository" sabayon-createrepo

• REPOSITORY_NAME -- is your repository name id
• REPOSITORY_DESCRIPTION -- is your repository description
