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"), update the manifest, and even emerge it (together
+ /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").
+ (usually /usr/portage/distfiles). The valid "KEYWORDS" for the generated
+ ebuilds are by default those given in "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS", but you can
+ specify your own with the "keywords" dist-option.
- The generated ebuilds are placed into the section "perl-cpanp". They
- favour depending on "perl-core" or "dev-perl" rather than "perl-cpanp".
+ The generated ebuilds are placed into the "perl-gcpanp" category. They
+ favour depending on a "virtual", on "perl-core", "dev-perl" or
+ "perl-gcpan" (in that order) rather than "perl-gcpanp".
+
+INSTALLATION
+ Before installing this module, you should append "perl-gcpanp" to your
+ /etc/portage/categories file.
+
+ You have two ways for installing this module :
+
+ * Use the perl overlay located at
+ <http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/perl-overlay.git>. It
+ contains an ebuild for CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo.
+
+ * Bootstrap an ebuild for CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo using itself. Note
+ that if your Gentoo system "perl" is "5.8.x", CPANPLUS and its
+ dependencies are not installed and not even available in the main
+ portage tree. So you need to bootstrap them as well.
+
+ First, fetch tarballs for CPANPLUS and CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo :
+
+ $ cd /tmp
+ $ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KANE/CPANPLUS-0.88.tar.gz
+ $ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/V/VP/VPIT/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo-0.09.tar.gz
+
+ Log in as root and unpack them in e.g. your home directory :
+
+ # cd
+ # tar xzf /tmp/CPANPLUS-0.88.tar.gz
+ # tar xzf /tmp/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo-0.09.tar.gz
+
+ Set up environment variables so that the toolchain is temporarily
+ available :
+
+ # export OLDPATH=$PATH
+ # export PATH=/root/CPANPLUS-0.88/bin:$PATH
+ # export PERL5LIB=/root/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo-0.09/blib/lib:/root/CPANPLUS-0.88/lib:/root/CPANPLUS-0.88/inc/bundle
+
+ Make sure you don't have an old ".cpanplus" configuration visible :
+
+ # [ -d /root/.cpanplus ] && mv /root/.cpanplus{,.bak}
+
+ Bootstrap CPANPLUS :
+
+ # cd /root/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo-0.09
+ # samples/g-cpanp CPANPLUS
+
+ Reset the environment :
+
+ # export PATH=$OLDPATH
+ # unset PERL5LIB OLDPATH
+
+ Emerge CPANPLUS with the ebuilds you've just generated :
+
+ # emerge -tv CPANPLUS
+
+ As of september 2009, "podlators" and "ExtUtils-MakeMaker" may fail
+ to emerge due to collisions. You can work around this by disabling
+ the "protect-owned" "FEATURE" for them :
+
+ # FEATURES="-protect-owned" emerge podlators
+ # FEATURES="-protect-owned" emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker
+
+ You may need to run each of these commands two times for them to
+ succeed.
+
+ At this point, you can bootstrap CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo using the
+ system CPANPLUS :
+
+ # PERL5LIB=/root/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo-0.09/blib/lib samples/g-cpanp CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo
+ # emerge -tv CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo
