NCursesEQueryList

Interactive dependency browser for Gentoo packages using equery.

Features

• Browse packages by repository (overlay)
• View dependency graphs with dependants count
• Keyboard-driven vim ncdu-style navigation
• Caches results for faster subsequent launches

Installation

eselect repositories enable masterwolf && emerge --sync masterwolf # To enable the repository (if not already)
echo "app-portage/nceql **" > /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/nceql  # To accept the unkeyworded package
emerge --ask app-portage/nceql

Or if you would like to manually install instead:

git clone git@github.com:ulcuber/nceql.git
sudo emerge --ask --quiet --verbose app-portage/gentoolkit app-portage/emlop

Usage

# internal sudo
./emlop
depgraph <atom>
depgraph "@selected"
# will be slow
depgraph "@installed"

NOTE: emlop requires access to /var/log/emerge.log so sudo is inside

Files

Cache: ~/.cache/nceql/
