Helper script to update hashes inside an ebuild's EGO_VENDOR variable. It goes over the list
of dependencies, fetches the latest HEAD's hash and outputs an up-to-date EGO_VENDOR.
Builds on Zac Medico's one-liners from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615444
$ ./update_ego_vendor.sh /usr/portage/app-emulation/lxd/lxd-2.14-r1.ebuild
- Assumes github. Either the dependency line is in the
github.com/foo/bar <hash>form or in thesome-name <hash> github.com/foo/barone. - Github limits access to its API to 60 requests per hour.
Manually updating EGO_VENDOR, even with update_ego_vendor.sh was becoming tiresome when the
package would add new dependencies with lots of sub-dependencies, so I created a whole new script
with a new approach: extract_ego_vendor.sh.
To use this script, you must first create yourself an empty directory and set your GOPATH env
variable to that path. Then, use go get or whatever else you need and ;et it fetch its
dependencies. Then call extract_ego_vendor.sh with one argument: a path inside your GOROOT that
has the github.com, gopkg.in and golang.org subdirectories.
You will then get a neat EGO_VENDOR output.
For now, this has only been tested with lxc/lxd.
