coldnew’s Sabayon Linux repository

This is my personal’s sabayon linux repository, feel free to use it :)

This project is not mantain anymore, I still more like to use Gentoo Linux instead of Sabayon.

Architecture support

This project support both amd64 and armv7l architecture on Sabayon Linux.

Add this repo to your Sabayon Linux

To use this binary host, you can use following command to add it to your Sabayon Linux system:

equo repo add coldnew \
     --desc "coldnew's Sabayon Linux Repository" \
     --repo https://coldnew.github.io/sabayon-coldnew/#bz2  \
     --pkg https://coldnew.github.io/sabayon-coldnew/

then update the entropy info

equo update

How to create repo like this one ?

Here are some info how I create this repo

Install sys-apps/entropy-server

We need to install entropy-server first

equo install sys-apps/entropy-server

Edit /etc/entropy/server.conf

You can create the /etc/entropy/server.conf from /etc/entropy/server.conf.example.

cp /etc/entropy/server.conf.example /etc/entropy/server.conf

If you want your repo just an overlay, you need to setup this

# Community repository mode, enable this if your repositories
# are just "overlays" of other full-blown repositories.
# For example, you're providing your own set of customized packages
# that are meant to work with some distribution repositories' packages.
#
# syntax for community-mode:
#    community-mode = <enable/disable>
#    default is: disable
#
community-mode = enable

You also need to modify you default repository name (ex: coldnew)

#  syntax for default-repository:
#
#    default-repository: Currently working repository identifier (if you have
#        more than one server-side repository, this indicates the one which
#        Entropy Server is authorized to work on)
#    default-repository = <repository identifier>
#
default-repository = coldnew

Edit etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d

You need to add you repository info in /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d/, take my repo for example, I need to create entropy_coldnew with following contents:

# Repository configuration file automatically generated
# by Entropy on your behalf.

[coldnew]
desc = coldnew's Sabayon Linux Repository
repo = file:///w/binhost/sabayon-coldnew/
enabled = true

pkg = https://coldnew.github.io/sabayon-coldnew/

Initialize you repository

Just switch to your repository dir (change coldnew to you repository name)

eit init coldnew

Use portage build the package

Just use portage build the package you need, note that I use -B to make portage just build the package and not install to system.

emerge -avB dev-embedded/stlink

After package builded, you can find the package locate in /usr/portage/packages/dev-embedded/stlink-1.2.0.tbz2, we need to transfer it to Sabayon’s package.

Transfer portage package to entropy one

Let’s create a tmp directory /tmp/packages

mkdir -p /tmp/packages

It’s time to transfer portage package to entropy package

equo pkg inflate --savedir /tmp/packages /usr/portage/packages/dev-embedded/stlink-1.2.0.tbz2

Add the package to you repo

Now, there’s are some new package in you /tmp/packages directory, juse add them to your repo

eit inject /tmp/packages/dev-embedded/dev-embedded:stlink-1.2.0.998e8a33fb4db7a3a016e6c741c7512101655adc~9999.tbz2

Push all changes

After all things done, you can push all your modification to your repo.

eit push
