ego
is Funtoo's official system personality management tool, designed to eventually replace the venerable eselect
from Gentoo Linux. Daniel Robbins created a new meta-tool to replace eselect because eselect has a couple of design issues. It requires extensions to be written as shell scripts, which is a big limitation. With the advent of Funtoo's modular profile system, eselect profile
was becoming cumbersome to use, and I needed to make the tool faster and more feature-rich. Ultimately, shell scripts are too slow and too hard to use to implement advanced functionality.
ego
is a meta-tool that works similarly to eselect. Typing ego
will show a list of available commands. Some of the benefits of ego over eselect are that ego modules can be implemented in any language. In addition, the ego architecture is designed so that the modules are themselves stand-alone commands, which allows you to access these sub-commands using shortcuts. For example, epro
is a shortcut for ego profile
. Please see the Funtoo Profiles page for detailed documentation on ego profile
.
Ego Modules
type | sub-command | description |
profile | epro | Profile management -- see Funtoo Profiles for usage information |
doc | edoc | Display wiki documentation |
query | - | Query information about packages |
sync | - | Synchronize Portage tree |
Query module
ego query
module is a tool to display information about packages. Bellow are described the various available commands.
Versions
The versions
(shortcut: v
) command lists all available versions matching a given atom. For each version, it also shows its slot and repository (along with git branch if any).
user $ ego query versions python dev-lang/python| slot| repo ----------------+---------+--------------------- 2.7.12| 2.7| python-kit/3.6-prime * 2.7.13| | python-kit/3.6-prime ----------------+---------+--------------------- 3.4.5| 3.4/3.4m| python-kit/3.6-prime 3.4.6| | python-kit/3.6-prime ----------------+---------+--------------------- * 3.5.3| 3.5/3.5m| python-kit/3.6-prime ----------------+---------+--------------------- * 3.6.1-r1| 3.6/3.6m| python-kit/3.6-prime user $ ego query versions '=python-3*' dev-lang/python| slot| repo ----------------+---------+--------------------- 3.4.5| 3.4/3.4m| python-kit/3.6-prime 3.4.6| | python-kit/3.6-prime ----------------+---------+--------------------- * 3.5.3| 3.5/3.5m| python-kit/3.6-prime ----------------+---------+--------------------- * 3.6.1-r1| 3.6/3.6m| python-kit/3.6-prime user $ ego query v dev-lang/python:3.5 dev-lang/python| slot| repo ----------------+---------+--------------------- * 3.5.3| 3.5/3.5m| python-kit/3.6-prime user $ ego query v coffee-script dev-lang/coffee-script| slot| repo -----------------------+-----+--------------- 1.9.3-r1| 0| dev-kit/master * 1.12.5| | dev-kit/master dev-ruby/coffee-script| slot| repo -----------------------+-----+--------------- 2.4.1| 0| dev-kit/master
Installed versions are in bold and marked with a star.
Origin
The origin
(shortcut: o
) command will tell you where a given package comes from and give you the URL to browse the ebuilds. This is mainly a tool for developers designed to figure out where fixes should be applied.
user $ ego query origin dev-python/appi dev-python/appi::python-kit comes from flora https://github.com/funtoo/flora/tree/master/dev-python/appi user $ ego query o screen app-misc/screen::core-kit comes from kit-fixups https://github.com/funtoo/kit-fixups/tree/master/core-kit/global/app-misc/screen https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-misc/screen app-vim/screen::editors-kit comes from gentoo-staging http://git.funtoo.org/gentoo-staging/tree/app-vim/screen https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-vim/screen
When the package is also available in Gentoo, the URL to the Gentoo repository is also shown in cyan as you may want to compare Funtoo version with Gentoo's.
Bugs
The bugs
command lists bugs reported on https://bugs.funtoo.org/ regarding the given atom. This allows you to quickly find out if an issue you're facing was reported recently.
