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Note: This is currently outdated, will update soon.<br>

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.
