NCursesEQueryList

Interactive dependency and compilation time browser for Gentoo packages using equery and emlop.

Features

• Browse packages by repository (overlay)
• View dependency graphs with dependants count and compilation time
• 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

# optionally for global
cd nceql
sudo cp depgraph /usr/bin

Usage

depgraph [-h] [--sort {dependencies_count,duration,duration_sum}] [--cache | --no-cache] atom
depgraph "@selected"
# will be slow but more accurate
depgraph "@installed"

NOTE: emlop requires access to /var/log/emerge.log so sudo is inside for the first (uncached) run

Files

Cache: ~/.cache/nceql/

Dev

Lint

python -m ruff format depgraph
