jnrowe-misc
- Gentoo overlay¶
Important
As of 2014-06-26, the jnrowe-misc
repository is shuttered. The
environments where I use Gentoo have vanished, and I don’t expect any to
arise in the near future. [1]
I plan on maintaining the packages in this overlay for as long as people report bugs, but won’t promise speedy bug resolution.
What this repository really needs is a new maintainer, so if you’re a user it is time to step up!
jnrowe-misc
is for packages that don’t naturally fit in to one of my other
themed overlays. You’ll find a large selection of Python packages, some tools
to make working with git more fun and various other things I can’t live
without.
If you find any problems with an ebuild
in this overlay either file an
issue or drop me an email.
Warning
This repository uses thin manifests, which requires a moderately recent
version of portage
to function correctly(2.1.10.18 or newer). Using
older versions is not supported!
This documentation reflects the overlay state as of 2017-09-02.
Contents¶
Installation¶
oilman
integration¶
If you use oilman to manage your repositories you can call:
# oilman --add-repository jnrowe::misc
Or, if you’d rather use the rsync mirror:
# oilman --method=rsync --add-repository jnrowe::misc
To sync the repository:
# oilman --sync jnrowe::misc # Sync this repository only
# oilman --sync all # or sync all repositories
layman
integration¶
If you use layman to sync your repositories you can easily add this repository to the supported list.
If you’re using layman v1.2.4 or newer, then the
support/layman2.xml
should be added to the overlays
section of
/etc/layman/layman.conf
, for example:
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
https://github.com/JNRowe/jnrowe-misc/raw/master/support/layman2.xml
If you’re using layman v1.2.3 or earlier, then
support/layman.xml
should be added to the overlays
section of
/etc/layman/layman.conf
, for example:
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt
https://github.com/JNRowe/jnrowe-misc/raw/master/support/layman.xml
Then you can add the overlay using layman:
# layman -a jnrowe-misc
Note
You may need to run layman --fetch or perform a sync operation before this command will work.
To sync the repository you can use layman directly, either syncing just this overlay or all your overlays at once:
# layman -s jnrowe-misc # Sync just jnrowe-misc
# layman -S # or sync all layman managed overlays
Or if you’re an eix user you can use eix-sync to update the repositories and the eix database at the same time, first tell eix-sync to update the repository:
# echo "jnrowe-misc" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # Sync just jnrowe-misc
# echo "*" >>/etc/eix-sync.conf # or sync all layman managed overlays
Finally, call eix-sync to update the specified repositories and the eix package database.
Manual installation¶
To manually manage this overlay just clone the git repository to a location
accessible by portage, and edit /etc/portage/make.conf
‘s
PORTDIR_OVERLAY
setting. See the make.conf(5) manual page
for details.

Maintenance tools¶
Makefile.py
is used for many of the repetitive and maintenance-related
tasks in this overlay. The custom code was chosen over make as the
original Makefile
was simply becoming too unwieldy, and as many of the
support tools were already written in Python this trade felt like a good
choice.
Repository level support¶
all
¶
This task performs all building tasks for the repository. It is purely
a wrapper that executes any tasks whose name begins with gen-
, and doesn’t
need to be manually updated for new generators.
check
¶
This task runs all the defined checks for the repository. It is simply
a wrapper that executes any task whose name ends with -check
, and doesn’t
need to be manually updated for new checks.
clean
¶
This task removes generated files, such as HTML generated from reST sources.
distclean
¶
In addition to the files removed by the clean target this task also removes
all the Manifest
files in the repository.
eclass-doc-check
¶
Check the syntax of eclass documentation using the awk
script from
app-portage/eclass-manpages
.
task-doc-check
¶
Check all tasks are documented here.
cupage
support¶
gen-cupage-conf
¶
This task recreates the support/cupage.conf
file for this repository,
see watch files.
cupage-check
¶
This task checks that a watch
file exists for every package in the
repository, see watch files.
layman
support¶
Maintenance support tasks¶
gen-stable
¶
This task creates a support/stabilisation.rem
snippet to use
a stabilisation reminder. It requires a full <category>/<package>-<version>
string as its only argument. See the stabilisation.rem documentation.
keyword-check
¶
This task is used to check whether packages have stable, or at least unstable,
keywords available on amd64
and x86
. These are the only supported archs
in this repository, and packages should be available on both where possible.
Previously arm
was also supported, but this is no longer the case as the
packages that were most useful on arm
have moved to another overlay.
open-bug
¶
This task will open a bug in the GitHub repository’s issue tracker. It requires one argument, which will be used as the bug’s title. If you give a second argument it will be used for the bug’s body. A third argument, if given, will be used for the initial label for the bug.
The examples below should make the usage clear:
$ ./Makefile.py open-bug 'new title'
$ ./Makefile.py open-bug 'title' 'with extended body content'
$ ./Makefile.py open-bug 'title' 'body' 'initial label'
$ ./Makefile.py open-bug 'title' '' 'initial label'
It reads your GitHub authentication data using git config
, see the setup
help page on GitHub for more information.
Note
This task fetches the repository identifier from the remote.origin.url
setting. See git-config(1).
bump-pkg
¶
This task is a special case of the open-bug task whose sole purpose is to file
bump requests with the minimum of fuss. It requires a full
<category>/<package>-<version>
string as its only argument.
It reads your GitHub authentication data using git config
, see the setup
help page on GitHub for more information.
Note
This task fetches the repository identifier from the remote.origin.url
setting. See git-config(1).
portage
support¶
gen-categories
¶
This task recreates the overlay’s categories list in
profiles/categories
.
gen-manifests
¶
This task will regenerate any missing, or stale, Manifest
files in the
repository.
Note
If you have a PORTAGE_GPG_KEY
setting in
/etc/portage/make.conf
it will use that key to sign the created
files. See make.conf(5) for more information on Manifest
signing.
gen-news-sigs
¶
This task is used regenerate any missing, or stale, signatures for news files. See the GLEP 42 documentation for more information.
This task requires you have PORTAGE_GPG_KEY
set in
/etc/portage/make.conf
to function, see make.conf(5) for
details.
gen-use-local-desc
¶
This task generates the profiles/use.local.desc
file using the USE
flag information in each package’s metadata.xml
definitions. See
egencache(1) and the devmanual’s metadata.xml documentation for
more information.
remind
support¶
gen-removals
¶
This task is used to generate removals.rem
, see the package.mask
documentation for more information.
reStructuredText support¶
gen-html
¶
This task generates HTML from all files ending in .rst
. It uses the
equivalent of the rst2html.py command’s --strict
flag, and will
fail if any errors or warnings are issued.
gen-thanks
¶
This task is used to create doc/thanks.rst
from README.rst
, its
purpose is to remove the error-prone manual edits of both files when adding
contributor information.
rst-check
¶
This task parses all files ending in .rst
for conformity. It uses the
equivalent of the rst2html.py command’s --strict
flag, and will
fail if any errors or warnings are issued.
tasks.utils
¶
This module is used to provide support functionality for use in other tasks. The few developer facing functions are described below.
-
newer
(file1, file2) → Bool¶ This function returns
True
iffile1
is newer thanfile2
. It handles the case of file arguments that don’t yet exist.
-
dep
(targets, sources[, mapping=False]) → function¶ dep
is to be used for checking whether a target needs executing. If the target is up to date the task is not run.If the
mappings
argument isTrue
then rebuilds are only performed if a source is newer than a target when the arguments are paired. IfFalse
a rebuild is performed if any source is a newer than a target.- Args:
- targets (list): Targets to check against sources (list): Sources to check against mapping (bool): Whether targets map directly to sources
-
cmd_output
(command) → str¶ A simple wrapper for
check_output()
that call commands and returns the result with any whitespace padding removed- Args:
- command (str): Command to execute
cupage
integration¶
cupage is used to keep packages in sync with their releases. cupage
v0.5.4, or above, is required if you wish to make use of this functionality.
All packages in this repository must have an entry in cupage
configuration
file support/cupage.conf
, and those entries are generated from the
watch
files in package directories.
watch
file format¶
For packages hosted on one of the hosting sites supported by cupage
a
watch
file can be very simple [1]. For example, the watch
file
for dev-python/aaargh
contains only one line:
site = pypi
The above definition tells cupage
to check for updates to the package named
argh
on PyPI.
For packages where the name differs between upstream and this repository for
some reason you must specify the name in the watch
file. From
dev-python/pyscss
:
[pyScss]
site = pypi
If the package you are adding is not in the list of supported sites then you’ll
need to manually define the watch
information.
app-misc/weatherspect
provides a useful example:
url = http://www.robobunny.com/projects/weatherspect/
select = td a
match_type = re
match = weatherspect_v[\d\.]+\.tar\.gz
This tells cupage
to search the defined URL for a
elements that are
children of td
in the HTML, and to match their href
attributes against
the match
regular expression.
A more thorough explanation of the format and available options can be found in the cupage documentation.

in your version of cupage |
Contact¶
If you wish to contact me about the contents of this overlay, then the simplest way is by email. If you’ve found a problem I would prefer that you open an issue on github, but emails are fine as a fallback method.
Commit signing¶
This tree has been using signed commits since June 2012, and those commits have been signed with 0xC0174749. That key has now been retired, and future commits will be signed using 0xABC68E07 with the following fingerprint:
3ACF 2658 BC4D 35F6 E470 0DAF FDA3 C542 ABC6 8E07
You can find a signed version of this file on GitHub.
Contributing¶
A few notes, beyond the advice in the excellent devmanual, that should be taken in to consideration when contributing to this overlay.
Package naming¶
The devmanual’s suggestion that filenames should not contain uppercase
characters only causes complex PN
/P
rewriting or
duplication, and as such is ignored in this overlay.
Commit messages¶
Commit messages should be of the form [<pkg>] <summary>
, or simply
<summary>
for commits that aren’t bound to a single package.
Try to follow Tim Pope’s excellent commit message advice. There is some leeway on the length of the summary to take in to account the package prefix, but beyond that the rules make perfect sense here.
Note
Occasionally I forget or mis-step on the above rule, and from today(2013-04-05) I’ll owe you a coffee every time you point out an infraction. Take advantage, it is the only way I’ll learn!
Patches vs sed¶
It is common practice in Gentoo repositories to fix minor problems using sed, presumably because it appears to be quick and easy. This type of usage is banned in this overlay. Some of the reasons for this policy are:
- It is very easy to mis-apply transformations
- It is very easy for transformations to not be applied at all without anyone noticing
- For people with poor knowledge of sed it leads to horrendous use of grouping and back-references
- Well written, correctly addressed, sed expressions tend to be hard
for people with only a basic knowledge of the
s
command to comprehend(far harder than unified diff output) - Many people seem to misunderstand what the common
sed || die
construct does, leading to a false sense of safety. [And frankly, if your die calls are triggered because of missing or mispelt files there are much greater problems than a poorly defined call to sed.]
Note
Users inside the AST firewall often rely on our sed wrappers to alert them of broken sed usage, and that process isn’t changing. I’m not applying this rule to all the overlays I maintain, just ones for external users.
die usage¶
There are few differences between how die is commonly used in the upstream tree, and how it is used in this overlay. The rules in the overlay aren’t always strictly enforced, but documenting this will hopefully reduce the number of usage questions I’m asked.
do* and die¶
It is common practise within the main Gentoo repository that calls to the likes of dodoc or doman do not call die on failure. This is not acceptable in this overlay.
Usage of wildcards in calls to do* is also frowned upon, but not enough to clean up previous usage [yet].
All entities that should be installed should raise a failure if they are not installed, there is no middle ground for some specific types of files.
HOMEPAGE
usage¶
Against the advice given in the ebuild variables section of the devmanual,
you should feel free to refer to variables in the HOMEPAGE
definition.
Even within the upstream repository this advice is seemingly ignored at will, as it serves little purpose.
RESTRICT
usage¶
All usage of RESTRICT
in an ebuild
should be accompanied by an
explanation of the reason for the restriction. It should be obvious to someone
looking at an ebuild
the reason why tests, for example, are blocked for a
given package.
Of course, it is preferable to fix the underlying reason for needing
a RESTRICT
definition, especially in the case of test
and
userpriv
restrictions.
stabilisation.rem
¶
support/stabilisation.rem
is a remind compatible data file that
contains the best case stabilisation dates for packages. When a new arch
keyword is added, or a package receives a version bump, this file is updated to
reflect the earliest possible time a package can migrate to stable.
The format is simple enough:
REM <|stable_date|> *1 MSG %"Stabilise |arch| |CPV|%" %a
Note
The initial stable date
value is 30 days in the future, although it can
be longer if more testing is likely to be necessary.
package.mask
¶
The profiles/package.mask
file includes special syntax for generating
removal reminders for packages. An example should explain it adequately:
# James Rowe <jnrowe@gmail.com> (27 Jan 2011)
# Better alternatives available including busybox's fbsplash, plymouth, ksplash
# and many others.
# X-Removal: 2011-02-26
media-gfx/psplash
The format is identical to that defined in portage(5) with the
addition of the X-Removal
tag that is used by the
support/gen_removal.py script to create an remind compatible data
file.
A simple, but important, extension that makes it easier to keep on top of important admin tasks.
distutils-r1.eclass
usage¶
When using the PYTHON_COMPAT
functionality from distutils-r1.eclass
it is important to state the reason why a certain Python version isn’t
supported.
This should, in theory, make it easier to track updates. Also, it should make it immediately clear how much work is required to support a specific Python version if the need arises.
A simple example from the ebuild
for rad would be:
# 2.5 is restricted due to except...as syntax
# 3.x is restricted due to print command
PYTHON_COMPAT=(python2_{6,7})
You should feel free to use nested brace expansion and sequence expressions in
the PYTHON_COMPAT
declaration, it makes for far more readable definitions
than either of the methods preferred upstream. Compare upstream’s
colorama
package:
PYTHON_COMPAT=( python2_5 python2_6 python2_7 python3_1 python3_2 )
or upstream’s pep8
package where brace expansion is used:
PYTHON_COMPAT=( python{2_5,2_6,2_7,3_1,3_2,3_3} )
with the preferred style for this overlay using flake8
as an example:
PYTHON_COMPAT=(python{2_{5..7},3_{1..3}})
distutils.eclass
usage¶
Important
At this point you should not be using distutils.eclass
for ebuilds,
use distutils-r1
for all new packages and upgrade packages when
bumping.
When using the RESTRICTED_PYTHON_ABIS
functionality from
distutils.eclass
it is important to state the reason why a certain
Python version is restricted. See distutils-r1 for more information.
A simple example from an old ebuild
for rad would be:
SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS="1"
PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.6"
# 2.4 is restricted due to relative imports and except...as syntax
# 2.5 is restricted due to except...as syntax
# 3.x is restricted due to print command
RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="2.[45] 3.*"
watch
files¶
Each package directory contains a watch
file that is used to generate
support/cupage.conf
. The support/cupage.conf
file is a config
file for cupage, which helps us to keep up with new package releases by
automating the process of checking project sites.
The format is basically quite simple, but there are a few caveats. First, an
easy example from www-client/cupage
:
site = github
user = JNRowe
This configuration is all that is needed to check for new tags in the
JNRowe/cupage
project on GitHub.
The output of cupage.py --list-sites shows all the possible
definitions for the site
option. If the upstream project is located on one
of those sites then the watch
file should be extremely simple.
For projects not using one of cupage‘s supported sites a manual
matcher must be built. An example from dev-python/astral
should be
quite illustrative:
url = http://www.sffjunkie.co.uk/python-astral.html
select = td a
match_type = zip
This tells cupage to check the defined URL for a
tags that are
descendants of td
tags, and whose href
attributes appear to match
zip
file names.
For more information about configuring cupage visit the cupage documentation.
Caveats¶
If the package name does not match the project name then the project name must
be specified in the watch
file. A live example from this repository
would be dev-python/straight-plugin
:
[straight.plugin]
site = pypi
Note
Project names are almost always case-sensitive, and project names must be specified when the package and project names differ as in the example above.
For a live ebuild
, or an upstream that has since disappeared, where using
cupage is unworkable a special entry should be placed in a package’s
watch
file.
For a live ebuild
add the string # Live ebuild
to the start of the
file. It is possible to add other information to the end of the file.
For a package where the upstream site is dead add the string upstream is
dead
somewhere in the watch file. It is possible to add informative notes to
the file, such as the previous location or package author data.
Frequently Asked Questions¶
Why don’t you submit these to Bugzilla?¶
At one time I did submit new ebuilds
to Gentoo’s Bugzilla, but it tended to
be very unproductive for me.
The purpose of this overlay is to provide packaging for things I use, and that means they’re used today.
Resolution for new package bugs tends to take an awful lot of time(if it happens
at all), and when they are resolved there are occasionally incompatible changes
made. Each incompatible change means I get to make the choice of whether
I attempt to shift our users to the in-tree version via some possibly hairy
migration path, or simply continue to maintain the out of tree ebuild
indefinitely.
Basically the end result is just far more work, with fast approaching zero
benefit from upstreaming. To see the amount of work involved check out
::shadow
, it only exists to handle packages with migration issues and it
demonstrates the situation quite well.
Why isn’t this listed in the layman repo?¶
I’ve never used layman
, so it isn’t something I would test very often.
A few users have asked in the past, but they normally find the
Installation method for layman
satisfies their needs when it is
pointed out. Perhaps, it could be more discoverable(ideas how to make it so are
very welcome).
Why are there so many merge commits?¶
As a result of the way my overlays are managed I have to maintain a bunch of
different branches to work around supporting the many different configurations;
on top of gentoo-x86
, stacked on the EADS main tree, using upstream’s python
eclasses, &c. The simplest way to do it is using a very heavy branching
structure.
If you scroll back through the repository history to a time when I wasn’t
supporting people using portage as their package manager or gentoo-x86
as
a base, you’ll see the history was a lot cleaner.
