Emerde is a port of Gentoo's portage system that installs, removes, updates, and maintains your system rapidly and easily. On Slackware, it cooperates with the package database and allows you to install .tgz files directly using dependency checking.

Recent releases


Changes: portage has been updated to 2.1_rc4, and debianutils to 2.15. The --maketgz* options have been dropped. A bug has been fixed in the --skipit option. It is advised to update to this version, because the new Gentoo's portage is not compatible with the old ones.


Changes: The portage was updated to portage 2.1_pre3. Updating is recommended because the new Gentoo's portage isn't compatible with the old ones.


Changes: A Sync-cat script that lets you sync a single category or package with the Gentoo repository was added. runscript.sh was patched to handle net dependecies at boot by rc.emerde. A --pasive option was added to auto-install.sh to select FTP passive mode. /etc/init.d/runscript.sh is no longer launched from rc.emerde.


Changes: A MIRROR option was added in auto-install.sh. A name bug was fixed in por2pkg and in --maketgz. An rsync installation bug and other small bugs were fixed and the code was cleaned up.


Changes: Updated to portage 2.0.51-r3, fixed a small bug in rsync_url, and cleaned up the code.

Recent commentsEmerde in SUSE.
hi, I tested on SUSE 9.1 Personal(upgrade to Pro by HTTP upgrade).
However I met this problem. It being told that Emerde works well on other RPM based Redhat and Mandrake,so I took risk to try on my SUSE. What's going on actually? SUSE use different style of grouping,which is username is not equal to group number, UID!=GID.
How to solve this matter?
portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout
and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd
and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then.
Also note that non-root/wheel users will need to be added to
the portage group to do portage commands.
For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group.

Bad joke

'shit'
For every french people, your project name sounds
like eshit, which is rather unfortunate.
