pkg

A cli frontend to emerge, written in Rust.

Why?

Because. I can.

Installation

Rust and Cargo are required. It is recommended to install them via rustup.

Features

• gentoolkit: Enable this if you have gentoolkit installed and you can check the deps of packages.

Manually with cargo

1: cargo install --git https://github.com/Phate6660/pkg.git

From crates.io

cargo install pkg-gentoo

From overlay

Note: This is currently outdated, will update soon.

1. Install the overlay p6nc-overlay.
2. Ensure repos and overlays are synced: sudo emerge --sync.
3. sudo emerge -atv pkg-gentoo

Note: Even though the package is named pkg-gentoo, the binary is still pkg.

Usage

$ pkg -h

pkg 0.0.9
Phate6660 <https://github.com/Phate6660>
A cli frontend for emerge, plus some extra features. Why? Because I can.

Note: Package operations require root.
So run with your preferred method of privilege elevation, otherwise emerge will ask if you want to pretend.

There's really nothing concrete. I'm just adding and editing features as I see fit right now.
