Gentoolkit/es

Gentoolkit es un conjunto de herramientas que facilitan la administración de un sistema Gentoo. Este documento cubre las acciones básicas de algunas de las herramientas que ofrece Gentoolkit.

¿Qué es Gentoolkit?
Gentoo es una distribución única y presenta algunas complejidades que simplemente no se presentan en otras distribuciones. A medida que los desarrolladores y colaboradores de Gentoo descubrían algunas de estas complejidades, escribieron herramientas para ayudar a usuarios y administradores a resolverlas. Muchas de estas herramientas se han escrito para el proyecto Gentoo y se incluyen en el paquete.

Gentoolkit contiene un amplio conjunto de herramientas útiles para ayudar a administrar los paquetes y seguirle la pista a lo que ocurre en los sistemas. La mayoría de usuarios, particularmente aquellos que a menudo actualizan sus sistemas, se beneficiarán de la instalación de Gentoolkit.

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.

Una vez mostrado el elemento elog, se le preguntará si desea eliminar el fichero.

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.
