Bug 304011 – Pkgcore support for eselect

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ulrich Müller 2010-02-08 14:32:30 UTC]

package-manager.bash supports only portage and paludis. We should have support for pkgcore too.

@ferringb: Any news about this one? I can't do this without your help.

adds pkgcore support

This is reliant on pkgcore 0.6.3, which will be released w/in this week (likely the next few days).

@@ -137,6 +142,7 @@ get_repo_news_dir() {

This doesn't look right to me. I guess it should be "pinspect portageq"?

[Comment 4 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2011-06-27 01:22:16 UTC]

should be pinspect portageq, yep.

Whoops. :)

[Comment 5 Ulrich Müller 2011-07-16 22:32:54 UTC]

This is included in eselect-1.2.16.

With pkgcore-0.9.4, this doesn't appear to work anymore. Especially:

+               pkgcore) pinspect portageq get_repositories ;;

$ pinspect portageq get_repositories
pinspect portageq: error: argument subcommand: invalid choice: 'get_repositories' (choose from 'best_version', 'envvar', 'envvar2', 'get_repo_news_path', 'get_repo_path', 'get_repos', 'has_version', 'mass_best_version', 'match')

+               pkgcore) pinspect portageq get_repo_news_path "${repo}" ;;

$ pinspect portageq get_repo_news_path gentoo
pinspect: error: Parsing failed: while loading portage config

Fix pkgcore support

Is attached patch correct?

I am not entirely sure about get_repo_news_path. pinspect(1) says that [root] is optional but apparently it isn't.

   pinspect portageq get_repo_news_path
   synopsis
       pinspect portageq get_repo_news_path [-h]  [--version]  [--debug]  [-q]
       [-v] [--color BOOLEAN] [--eapi ATOM_KLS] [--use USE] [root] repo_id

[Comment 8 Ulrich Müller 2016-12-04 13:04:12 UTC]

Looks like this commit removed the get_repositories subcommand:
https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcore/commit/b9b702fc49c4238af772e4a08d0b3e6272addb21

So eselect is broken since at least pkgcore version 0.9.

Must eselect still remain compatible with pkgcore-0.8*? The oldest version in the tree is 0.9.1.

The patch looks fine. Feel free to drop support for pkgcore-0.8*.
