About Portage
Portage is a package management system based on ports collections. The Package Manager Specification Project (PMS) standardises and documents the behaviour of Portage so that ebuild repositories can be used by other package managers.
Contributing
Contributions are always welcome! We've started using black to format the code base. Please make sure you run it against any PR's prior to submitting (otherwise we'll probably reject it).
There are ways to integrate black into your text editor and/or IDE.
You can also set up a git hook to check your commits, in case you don't want editor integration. Something like this:
# .git/hooks/pre-commit (don't forget to chmod +x)
#!/bin/bash
black --check --diff .
One can also use pre-commit to run the configured pre-commit hooks. Utilizing pre-commit has the advantage of running the linter over only the changed files, resulting in a much faster pre-commit hook. To use, install pre-commit and then install the hook to your .git:
emerge dev-vcs/pre-commit
pre-commit install
To ignore commit 1bb64ff452 (and other reformatting commits) which is a massive commit that simply formatted the code base using black - you can do the following:
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
Dependencies
Python and Bash should be the only hard dependencies. Python 3.9 is the minimum supported version.
Native Extensions
Portage includes some optional native extensions which can be built in the source tree by running the following command:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace --portage-ext-modules
The following setup.cfg settings can be used to enable building of native extensions for all invocations of the build_ext command (the build_ext command is invoked automatically by other build commands):
[build_ext]
portage_ext_modules=true
Currently, the native extensions only include libc bindings which are used to validate LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE behavior for EAPI 6. If the native extensions have not been built, then portage will use ctypes instead.
