Emerge

The order and tool emerge , under Gentoo, are the system center of management of the packages, known under the name of Portage. The order is rather complex with many options. The program was written in python. emerge is the most important utility to reach the parameters of Bearing starting from the lines of orders.

The program will download the Source code of a specified application, as well as all the applications or libraries necessary to satisfy the dependences. Once the remote loading was carried out, all is compiled starting from the sources. The parameters of compilation can be optimized, while being based on specificities of only one computer. The utility emerges will compile and install the applications in a Sandbox environment.

Orders

Among the principal orders, one finds: # emerges nom_du_paquet who will install the package, like all his dependences.

# emerges --nom_du_paquet claims who will post all the programs which will be installed like dependences of nom_du_paquet. This order does not carry out any installation.

One of the major disadvantages of emerges is that, if one désinstalle a program, the dependant dependences will not be it. However, by using this order: # emerges depclean the unused dependences will be désinstallées.

Hidden function

The originators dissimulated a humorous function in the code of emerges: while typing # emerges MOO one obtains Larry coil Gentoo (Linux) _____________________ < you mooed today Cuts? > ----------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo) \ _____ () \) \/ ||----W | || || with the manner d' apt - get moo under Debian.
