NAME

Gentoo::Overlay - Tools for working with Gentoo Overlays

VERSION

version 1.0.1

SYNOPSIS

my $overlay = Gentoo::Overlay->new( path => '/usr/portage' );

my $name       = $overlay->name();
my %categories = $overlay->categories();

print "Overlay $name 's categories:\n";
for( sort keys %categories ){
  printf "%30s : %s", $_, $categories{$_};
}

# Overlay gentoo 's categories:
#  .....
#  dev-lang      : /usr/portage/dev-lang
#  .....

There will be more features eventually, this is just a first release.

METHODS

default_path

Useful function to easily wrap the class-wide method with a per-object sugar.

$overlay->default_path('profiles');
->
::Overlay->_default_paths->{'profiles'}->($overlay);
->
$overlay->path->subdir('profiles')


$overlay->default_path('category','foo');
->
::Overlay->_default_path('category')->( $overlay, 'foo' );
->
$overlay->path->subdir('foo')

$overlay->default_path('repo_name');
->
::Overlay->_default_path('repo_name')->( $overlay );
->
$overlay->_profile_dir->file('repo_name')

They're class wide functions, but they need individual instances to work.

iterate

$overlay->iterate( $what, sub {
    my ( $context_information ) = shift;

} );

The iterate method provides a handy way to do walking across the whole tree stopping at each of a given type.

• $what = 'categories'

  $overlay->iterate( categories => sub {
      my ( $self, $c ) = shift;
      # $c->{category_name}  # String
      # $c->{category}       # Category Object
      # $c->{num_categories} # How many categories are there to iterate
      # $c->{last_category}  # Index ID of the last category.
      # $c->{category_num}   # Index ID of the current category.
  } );

• $what = 'packages'

  $overlay->iterate( packages => sub {
      my ( $self, $c ) = shift;
      # $c->{category_name}  # String
      # $c->{category}       # Category Object
      # $c->{num_categories} # How many categories are there to iterate
      # $c->{last_category}  # Index ID of the last category.
      # $c->{category_num}   # Index ID of the current category.
      #
      # $c->{package_name}   # String
      # See ::Category for the rest of the fields provided by the package Iterator.
      # Very similar though.
  } );

• $what = 'ebuilds'

  $overlay->iterate( ebuilds => sub {
      my ( $self, $c ) = shift;
      # $c->{category_name}  # String
      # $c->{category}       # Category Object
      # $c->{num_categories} # How many categories are there to iterate
      # $c->{last_category}  # Index ID of the last category.
      # $c->{category_num}   # Index ID of the current category.
      #
      # $c->{package_name}   # String
      # See ::Category for the rest of the fields provided by the package Iterator.
      # Very similar though.
      #
      # $c->{ebuild_name}   # String
      # See ::Package for the rest of the fields provided by the ebuild Iterator.
      # Very similar though.
  } );
