Repository files navigation

pkgcore is a framework for package management; via the appropriate classplugins, the design should allow for any underlying repository/config/format tobe used; slackware's tgzs being exempted due to lack of any real metadata, andautopackage format being exempted due to the fact they effectively embed themanager in each package (pkgcoredoes require being able to treat the pkg asdata, instead of autopackage's method of handing resolution/all manager ops offto the package script).

pclean: clean distfiles, binpkgs, and builds dirs

pclonecache: clone a repository cache

pconfig: query configuration info

pebuild: low-level ebuild operations, go through phases manually

pinspect: inspect repository related info

pmaint: repository maintenance (syncing, copying...)

pmerge: dependency resolution, fetching, (un)merging, etc.

pquery: query repository info, revdeps, pkg search, vdb search, etc.

At least python version 3.11, andsnakeoil — a utility library split out ofpkgcore for others to use.
