Gentoolkit est une suite d'outils destinée à faciliter l'administration d'un système Gentoo. Ce document couvre les bases de quelques uns des outils présents dans cette boîte à outils.

Qu’est-ce que le Gentoolkit ?
Gentoo est une distribution unique en son genre qui présente des complexités qui n'existent tout simplement pas dans d'autres distributions. Au fur et à mesure que les développeurs et contributeurs de Gentoo découvraient ces complexités, ils écrivirent des outils pour aider les utilisateurs et les administrateurs à les surmonter. Beaucoup de ces outils ont été apportés au projet Gentoo et sont inclus dans le paquet.

Gentoolkit contient tout un ensemble d'outils utiles pour vous aider à gérer vos paquets et garder la trace de ce qui se passe sur votre système. La plupart des utilisateurs — en particuliers ceux qui mettent souvent leur système à jour — tireront un bénéfice à avoir gentoolkit installé.

revdep-rebuild
This tool is Gentoo's Reverse Dependency rebuilder. It will scan the installed ebuilds to find packages that have become broken as a result of an upgrade of a package they depend on. It can emerge those packages for users automatically but it can also happen that a given package does not work with the currently installed dependencies, in which case you should upgrade the broken package to a more recent version. will pass flags to which lets you use the   flag to see what is going to be emerged again before going any further.

To rebuild some packages run without the   flag and the listed packages will be emerged again.

glsa-check
glsa-check is mainly a test tool that keeps track of the various GLSA's (Gentoo Linux Security Advisory) and will eventually be integrated into and.

eread

Après avoir vu le fichier, on vous demandera si vous voulez le supprimer.

eclean
is a tool to remove old source files and old binary packages from the system.

When building and installing packages, the source files are downloaded and preserved in DISTDIR, usually. This can accumulate several gigabytes of material over time if it is not cleaned periodically. Users should run to clean source files from DISTDIR.

It is possible to create archives of installed packages by using or. These archived packages are kept in PKGDIR, usually. When they are no longer needed, or if they are too old, can be ran to remove them from PKGDIR. It is a good way to ensure that any binary packages on the system are only the latest versions.
