gentooling

Reusable Go libraries for Gentoo system and package tooling.

The initial API provides explicit system paths, stable package identities, and read-only installed-package inventory. Inventory scans support partial inspection with typed diagnostics and strict evidence validation for consumers that must not act on incomplete package-manager state. Independent package records are scanned and revalidated with bounded concurrency while results and diagnostics remain deterministic.

paths := gentooling.DefaultSystemPaths("/")
inventory, err := gentooling.ReadInstalled(ctx, paths, gentooling.InstalledOptions{
    Integrity: gentooling.RequireComplete,
})

profile, err := gentooling.ReadProfile(ctx, gentooling.SystemPaths{
    ActiveProfile: "/etc/portage/make.profile",
    Repositories: []gentooling.RepositoryPath{
        {Name: "gentoo", Path: "/var/db/repos/gentoo"},
    },
})

config, err := gentooling.ReadEffectiveConfig(ctx, paths, gentooling.ConfigOptions{
    Environment: os.Environ(),
})

atom, err := gentooling.ParseAtom(">=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.12:6.12")
matches, err := atom.Matches(packageID, gentooling.UseState{})

use, err := config.EvaluateUse(ctx, gentooling.PackageContext{
    ID: packageID,
    DeclaredUse: installedPackage.DeclaredUse,
    Stable: true,
})

Environment is always explicit. Passing nil performs a disk-only evaluation and never imports the process environment.

Atom matching returns false, nil for an ordinary mismatch and wraps malformed input with ErrInvalidData. Effective USE evaluation only returns declared flags, sorts decisions by name, and retains applied evidence in policy precedence order. Consumers decide whether a package is stable and pass that decision explicitly.

Run the complete validation target with:

Functions

SortedRepositoryNames provides deterministic diagnostics for configured repository maps.

Types

type Atom 

type Atom struct {
	Op       Op
	Category string
	Package  string
	Version  *Version
	Slot     string
	Subslot  string
	SlotOp   SlotOp
	Repo     string

}

Atom is a parsed Gentoo package dependency atom.

func Parse 

func Parse(raw string) (*Atom, error)

Parse accepts either a package atom or a bare CPV identity.

func ParseAtom 

func ParseAtom(raw string) (Atom, error)

ParseAtom parses a package dependency atom. A version requires an operator.

func ParsePackageAtom 

func ParsePackageAtom(raw string) (*Atom, error)

ParsePackageAtom is the pointer-returning compatibility form of ParseAtom.

func ParsePackageVersion 

func ParsePackageVersion(raw string) (Atom, error)

ParsePackageVersion parses a CPV. Unlike ParseAtom, it accepts a version without a dependency operator.

func (Atom) Matches 

func (atom Atom) Matches(packageID PackageID, use UseState) (bool, error)

Matches reports whether a package and its USE state satisfy the atom.

func (Atom) String 

func (atom Atom) String() string

type BuildMetadata 

type BuildMetadata struct {
	Time        int64
	ID          string
	Counter     int64
	PhaseEnvABI string
}

type ConfigOptions 

type ConfigOptions struct {
	// Environment is command input, not the process environment. Only
	// documented Portage variables and active USE_EXPAND variables are used.
	Environment []string
}

type DependencyMetadata struct {
	Depend  string
	RDepend string
	BDepend string
	IDepend string
	PDepend string
}

type EffectiveConfig 

type EffectiveConfig struct {

}

func ReadEffectiveConfig 

func ReadEffectiveConfig(ctx context.Context, paths SystemPaths, options ConfigOptions) (EffectiveConfig, error)

ReadEffectiveConfig loads make.globals, the active profile graph, user make.conf/package.use, and an explicit command environment. It never reads the process environment or paths absent from SystemPaths.

func (EffectiveConfig) EvaluateUse 

func (config EffectiveConfig) EvaluateUse(ctx context.Context, packageContext PackageContext) (UseEvaluation, error)

EvaluateUse computes effective USE for one package. It only returns flags declared by IUSE and retains every applied policy input in precedence order.

func ReadInstalled 

func ReadInstalled(ctx context.Context, paths SystemPaths, options InstalledOptions) (InstalledInventory, error)

	VDB           string
	World         string
