NAME CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo - CPANPLUS backend generating Gentoo ebuilds. VERSION Version 0.04 SYNOPSIS cpan2dist --format=CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo \ --dist-opts overlay=/usr/local/portage \ --dist-opts distdir=/usr/portage/distfiles \ --dist-opts manifest=yes \ --dist-opts keywords=x86 \ --dist-opts header="# Copyright 1999-2008 Gentoo Foundation" \ --dist-opts footer="# End" \ Any::Module You::Like DESCRPITON This module is a CPANPLUS backend that recursively generates Gentoo ebuilds for a given package in the specified overlay (defaults to /usr/local/portage), updates the manifest, and even emerges it (together with its dependencies) if the user requires it. You need write permissions on the directory where Gentoo fetches its source files (usually /usr/portage/distfiles). You also need to specify the correct keyword for your architecture if it differs from the default "x86". The generated ebuilds are placed into the "perl-gcpanp" category. They favour depending on "perl-core", "dev-perl" or "perl-gcpan" (in that order) rather than "perl-gcpanp". INSTALLATION After installing this module, you should append "perl-gcpanp" to your /etc/portage/categories file. METHODS All the methods are inherited from CPANPLUS::Dist::Base. Please refer to its documentation for precise information on what's done at each step. DEPENDENCIES Gentoo (). CPANPLUS, IPC::Cmd (core modules since 5.9.5).
