pkgcore-based QA utility for ebuild repos

pkgcheck

Dependencies

pkgcheck is developed alongside pkgcore and snakeoil. Running pkgcheck from git will often require both pkgcore and snakeoil from git as well.

For releases, see the required runtime dependencies.

There are also several optional runtime dependencies that add or extend check support in various ways if found on the host system including the following:

• git: supports historical queries for git-based repos
• requests: supports various network-related checks
• Gentoo-PerlMod-Version: supports Perl version checks

Installing

Installing latest release from pypi:

pip install pkgcheck

Installing from a release tarball:

python setup.py install

Tests

A standalone test runner is integrated in setup.py; to run, just execute:

python setup.py test

In addition, a tox config is provided so the testsuite can be run in a virtualenv setup against all supported python versions. To run tests for all environments just execute tox in the root directory of a repo or unpacked tarball. Otherwise, for a specific python version execute something similar to the following:

tox -e py36
