What is this?

Here is a set of my hooks (plugins) for paludis I wrote and use few years already.

Briefly this package consists of:

Autopatch hook -- an easy way to apply patches (here is my set of patches)
Filesystem Manager hook -- a better way to avoid installation of some files than INSTALL_MASK + some other interesting usage practices w/o direct analogues in the portage
A smart way to build packages in a RAM disk with workdir-tmpfs hook
A bunch of helper functions usable in a daily work w/ Paludis
A hook to organize compiler/linker options into various sets and apply to packages

Configuration details

Autopatch

The only one option in /etc/paludis/hooks/configs/auto-patch.conf is location of patches tree (default: /var/paludis/autopatches). .patch files should be placed under this directory with such hierarchy:

autopatches
├── hook_name1
│   └── cate-gory
│       └── package_name
│           └── fix_some_crap.patch
├── hook_name2
│   ├── cate-gory
│   │   └── package-ver
│   │       └── version-specific.patch
│   ├── cate-gory
│   │   └── package-ver_r1
│   │       └── some-cve-hotfix.patch
│   └── cate-gory
│       └── any_spec:SLOT
│           └── slot-specific.patch

and so on.

Supported hooks for autopatch are: ebuild_install_pre, install_all_post, ebuild_configure_post, ebuild_compile_post, ebuild_configure_pre, ebuild_compile_pre, ebuild_unpack_post.

This hook is also controlled by this variables in paludis' bashrc:

PALUDIS_AUTOPATCH_HOOK_DO_NOTHING="yes" disables all actions of this hook.
PALUDIS_AUTOPATCH_HOOK_NO_WARNING="yes" mutes annoying warnings about altered packages.

Filesystem Manager

/etc/paludis/hooks/configs/filesystem-manager.conf is a set of rules in XML which format is explained by the comments in it or in more details here.

This hook is also controlled by this variables in paludis' bashrc:

PALUDIS_HOOK_DEBUG="yes" dumps enviroment variables to file /tmp/paludis-fsm-hook-env.log.
PALUDIS_FILESYSTEM_HOOK_DO_NOTHING="yes" disables all actions of this hook.
PALUDIS_FILESYSTEM_HOOK_NO_WARNING="yes" mutes annoying warnings about altered packages.

package.env

For using this hook add to Paludis' bashrc line:

[ -e /usr/libexec/paludis-hooks/setup_pkg_env.bash ] && source /usr/libexec/paludis-hooks/setup_pkg_env.bash

and to /etc/paludis/package_env.conf:

category/some_package some_env another_env ...

So, at build time of category/some_package, all lines from the mentioned env files (/etc/paludis/env.conf.d/some_env.conf and /etc/paludis/env.conf.d/another_env.conf) will be sourced at init ebuild phase. Hence, changing compiler/linker flags or setting another compiler would affect the build process only for given package.

Workdir-tmpfs

Most important boolean parameter in /etc/paludis/hooks/configs/workdir-tmpfs.conf is IN_MEMORY_BUILD_ENABLED.
