ebuildtester

This is a tool to test a Gentoo ebuild and its dependencies. The idea is
that the ebuild is emerged in a clean (and current) stage3 Docker container.

• Installation

This snap uses the docker snap and needs to be connected via

snap connect ebuildtester:docker-executables docker:docker-executables

• Usage

We are going to assume that the user has a local git clone of the portage
tree in

/usr/local/git/gentoo

We have added a new ebuild and would like to verify that the build
dependencies are all correct. We can build the package (ATOM) with:

ebuildtester \

   --portage-dir /usr/local/git/gentoo \

   --atom ATOM \

   --use USE1 USE2

where we have specified two USE flags, USE1 and USE2. The ebuildtester
command will now create a docker container and start installing the ATOM.
All specified dependencies will be installed as well.

For a full list of supported options run
